BigDecimal unscaledValue() in Java

The java.math.BigDecimal.unscaledValue() is an inbuilt method in java that returns a BigInteger whose value is the unscaled value of a BigDecimal value. The value computes (this * 10this.scale()).
Syntax:
public BigInteger unscaledValue()
Parameters: The method does not accepts any parameter.
Return value: This method returns a BigInteger whose value is the unscaled value of this BigDecimal value.
Below program illustrates the BigDecimal.unscaledValue() method:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate unscaledValue() method of BigDecimal import java.math.*; public class Gfg { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating 2 BigInteger objects BigInteger i1, i2; BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("175.856"); BigDecimal b2 = new BigDecimal("-275.73"); // Assigning unscaledValue of BigDecimal objects b1, b2 to i1, i2 i1 = b1.unscaledValue(); i2 = b2.unscaledValue(); // Printing i1, i2 values System.out.println("The Unscaled Value of " + b1 + " is " + i1); System.out.println("The Unscaled Value of " + b2 + " is " + i2); }} |
Output:
The Unscaled Value of 175.856 is 175856 The Unscaled Value of -275.73 is -27573
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate unscaledValue() method of BigDecimal import java.math.*; public class Gfg { public static void main(String[] args) { // Creating 2 BigInteger objects BigInteger i1, i2; BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("5.5"); BigDecimal b2 = new BigDecimal("-2.73"); // Assigning unscaledValue of BigDecimal objects b1, b2 to i1, i2 i1 = b1.unscaledValue(); i2 = b2.unscaledValue(); // Printing i1, i2 values System.out.println("The Unscaled Value of " + b1 + " is " + i1); System.out.println("The Unscaled Value of " + b2 + " is " + i2); }} |
Output:
The Unscaled Value of 5.5 is 55 The Unscaled Value of -2.73 is -273
