How to use comparison operators like >, =, < on BigDecimal

Question

I have a domain class with unitPrice set as BigDecimal data type. Now I am trying to create a method to compare price but it seems like I can\'t have comparison operators in Big

Answer 1

Use the compareTo method of BigDecimal :

public int compareTo(BigDecimal val) Compares this BigDecimal with the specified BigDecimal.

Returns:
-1, 0, or 1 as this BigDecimal is numerically less than, equal to, or greater than val.
