BigDecimal - to use new or valueOf

Question

I came across two ways of getting BigDecimal object out of a double d.

1. new BigDecimal(d)
2. BigDecimal.valueOf(d)

Which would be a bette

Answer 1

Basically valueOf(double val) just does this:

return new BigDecimal(Double.toString(val));

Therefore -> yep, a new object will be created :).

In general I think it depends upon your coding style. I would not mixure valueOf and "new", if both are the same outcome.
