Java bigdecimal precision example

     

In this example, bigdecimal class precision method working is demonstrated. Method return type is int. Method returns the number of  digits of an unscaled object value.

Method throws NumberFormatException if it finds value other than integer and double. 

Syntax for using the method : public int precision()
BigDecimal objects with names x;
System.out.print(x.precision());
or
int i = x.precision();

Note: Method generates value 1 for this.object value zero.
