Java BigDecimal movePointRight() method
The movePointRight() method of java BigDecimal class is used to move the decimal point of the current BigDecimal by n places to the right.
- Note:
- If n is non-negative, the call merely subtracts n from the scale.
- If n is negative, the call is equivalent to movePointLeft(-n).
The BigDecimal returned by this call has value (this × 10n) and scale max(this.scale()-n, 0).
Syntax:
Parameter:
n: number of places to move the decimal point to the right.
Exception:
ArithmeticException– If scale overflows, then it throws exception:
Returns:
It returns a BigDecimal which is equivalent to this one with the decimal point moved n places to the right.
Example 1
Output:
Final result after 3 move point right =123230
Example 2
Output:
Final result after 4 move point right =5345440000
Example 3
Output:
Final result after -2 move point right =5345.44
Example 4
Output:
Final result after -6 move point right =0.0005341254
