BigDecimal Error

Question

In Java, I have defined k as double k=0.0;

I am taking data from database and adding the same using while loop,

while(rst.         


        

Answer 1

You're still going via double. Stick to BigDecimal everywhere:

BigDecimal k = BigDecimal.ZERO;
while (rst.next()) {
    k = k.add(new BigDecimal(rst.getString(5));
}

Alternatively - and preferrably, if the field in the database is actually a decimal value:

BigDecimal k = BigDecimal.ZERO;
while (rst.next()) {
    k = k.add(rst.getBigDecimal(5));
}
