Compressed Big Decimal is an extension which provides support for Mutable big decimal value that can be used to accumulate values without losing precision or reallocating memory. This type helps in absolute precision arithmetic on large numbers in applications, where greater level of accuracy is required, such as financial applications, currency based transactions. This helps avoid rounding issues where in potentially large amount of money can be lost. Accumulation requires that the two numbers have the same scale, but does not require that they are of the same size. If the value being accumulated has a larger underlying array than this value (the result), then the higher order bits are dropped, similar to what happens when adding a long to an int and storing the result in an int. A compressed big decimal that holds its data with an embedded array. Compressed big decimal is an absolute number based complex type based on big decimal in Java. This supports all the functionalities supported by Java Big Decimal. Java Big Decimal is not mutable in order to avoid big garbage collection issues. Compressed big decimal is needed to mutate the value in the accumulator. |
