Convert Java Number to BigDecimal : best way

Question

I am looking for the best way to convert a Number to a BigDecimal.

Is this good enough?

Number number;
BigDecimal big = new BigDecimal(number.toStrin         


        

Answer 1

The best way is

BigDecimal.valueOf(myDouble);

It's the same internally, but it's an overloaded function that works also for longs and it's optimized for frequently used longs value. So it's more standard, simple and easy to remember.
