Overview
A BigDecimal
can represent arbitrarily large precision decimals.
It is internally represented by a pair of BigInt
and UInt64
: value and scale.
Value contains the actual value, and scale tells the decimal point place.
E.g. when value is 1234
and scale 2
, the result is 12.34
.
NOTE To use BigDecimal
, you must explicitly import it with require "big"
The general idea and some of the arithmetic algorithms were adapted from the MIT/APACHE-licensed bigdecimal-rs.
