Format BigDecimal without scientific notation with full precision

Question

I\'d like to convert a BigDecimal to String for printing purposes but print out all digits without scientific notation. For example:

Bi         


        

Answer 1

The BigDecimal class has a toPlainString method. Call this method instead of the standard toString and it will print out the full number without scientific notation.

Example

BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal("4930592405923095023950238502395.3259023950235902");
System.out.println(b.toPlainString());

Output: 4930592405923095023950238502395.3259023950235902
