BigDecimal(Double)

Translates a double into a BigDecimal which is the exact decimal representation of the double's binary floating-point value.

<b>Notes:</b> <ol> <li> The results of this constructor can be somewhat unpredictable. One might assume that writing new BigDecimal(0.1) in Java creates a BigDecimal which is exactly equal to 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is actually equal to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625. This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a double (or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of any finite length). Thus, the value that is being passed <em>in</em> to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1, appearances notwithstanding.

<li> The String constructor, on the other hand, is perfectly predictable: writing new BigDecimal("0.1") creates a BigDecimal which is <em>exactly</em> equal to 0.1, as one would expect. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the #BigDecimal(String) String constructor be used in preference to this one.

<li> When a double must be used as a source for a BigDecimal, note that this constructor provides an exact conversion; it does not give the same result as converting the double to a String using the Double#toString(double) method and then using the #BigDecimal(String) constructor. To get that result, use the static#valueOf(double) method. </ol>
