BigDecimal to string

Question

I have a BigDecimal object and i want to convert it to string. The problem is that my value got fraction and i get a huge number (in length) and i only need the original num

Answer 1

Your BigDecimal doesn't contain the number 10.0001, because you initialized it with a double, and the double didn't quite contain the number you thought it did. (This is the whole point of BigDecimal.)

If you use the string-based constructor instead:

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal("10.0001");

...then it will actually contain the number you expect.
