java Biginteger BigDecimal

Question

Is there any way to convert a BigInteger into a BigDecimal? i know you can go from DEC to INT but i cant find a method to go the other way around in JAVA.

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You have a parameterized constructor for that.

BigDecimal(BigInteger val)

Answer 2

There is a constructor for that.

BigDecimal bigdec = new BigDecimal(bigint);

Answer 3

BigDecimal public BigDecimal(BigInteger unscaledVal, int scale)Translates a BigInteger unscaled value and an int scale into a BigDecimal. The value of the BigDecimal is (unscaledVal/10scale).

Parameters: unscaledVal - unscaled value of the BigDecimal. scale - scale of the BigDecimal. Throws: NumberFormatException - scale is negative

Good luck!!!
