Format BigDecimal without scientific notation with full precision

Question

I\'d like to convert a BigDecimal to String for printing purposes but print out all digits without scientific notation. For example:

Bi         


        

Answer 1

To preserve the precision for a BigDecimal you need to pass the value in as a String

BigDecimal d = new BigDecimal("12334535345456700.12345634534534578901");
System.out.println(d.toPlainString());

Answer 2

You want to use a DecimalFormat:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.#");  
String output = df .format(myBD);
System.out.println(value + " " + output);

Answer 3

You could use this

BigDecimal d = BigDecimal.valueOf(12334535345456700.12345634534534578901);
String out= d.toPlainString();
System.out.println(out);

Answer 4

The BigDecimal class has a toPlainString method. Call this method instead of the standard toString and it will print out the full number without scientific notation.

Example

BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal("4930592405923095023950238502395.3259023950235902");
System.out.println(b.toPlainString());

Output: 4930592405923095023950238502395.3259023950235902
