Java java.math BigDecimal equals(Object x)

Description Of BigDecimal: equals(Object x)

The java.math.BigDecimal.equals(Object x) compares this BigDecimal with the specified Object for equality. Unlike compareTo , this method considers two BigDecimal objects equal only if they are equal in value and scale (thus 2.0 is not equal to 2.00 when compared by this method).

BigDecimal.equals(Object x) method returns true if and only if the specified Object is a BigDecimal whose value and scale are equal to this BigDecimal 's.

Code Example Java BigDecimal

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class BigDecimalExam {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal("25.00");
  BigDecimal bg2 = new BigDecimal("25.00");
  BigDecimal bg3 = new BigDecimal("25");

  // assign the result of equals method to b1, b2
  Boolean b1 = bg1.equals(bg2);
  Boolean b2 = bg1.equals(bg3);

  System.out.println(b1);
  System.out.println(b2);
 }
