Java java.math BigDecimal longValue()

Description Of BigDecimal: longValue()

The java.math.BigDecimal.longValue() converts this BigDecimal to a long . This conversion is analogous to the narrowing primitive conversion from double to short as defined in section 5.1.3 of The Java? Language Specification : any fractional part of this BigDecimal will be discarded, and if the resulting " BigInteger " is too big to fit in a long , only the low-order 64 bits are returned. Note that this conversion can lose information about the overall magnitude and precision of this BigDecimal value as well as return a result with the opposite sign.

BigDecimal.longValue() method returns this BigDecimal converted to a long .

Code Example Java BigDecimal

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class BigDecimalExam {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal("-75.00");
  BigDecimal bg2 = new BigDecimal("25.50");
  BigDecimal bg3 = new BigDecimal("25");

  long b1 = bg1.longValue();
  long b2 = bg2.longValue();
  long b3 = bg3.longValue();

  System.out.println(b1);
  System.out.println(b2);
  System.out.println(b3);
 }
}
