##
Overview

A `BigDecimal` can represent arbitrarily large precision decimals.

It is internally represented by a pair of `BigInt` and `UInt64`: value and scale. Value contains the actual value, and scale tells the decimal point place. E.g. when value is `1234` and scale `2`, the result is `12.34`.

NOTE To use `BigDecimal`, you must explicitly import it with `require "big"`

The general idea and some of the arithmetic algorithms were adapted from the MIT/APACHE-licensed bigdecimal-rs.

Creates a new `BigDecimal` from `BigRational`.

NOTE BigRational are fundamentally more precise than BigDecimals, which makes initialization from them risky.

Description copied from module Comparable(BigDecimal)

The comparison operator. Returns `0` if the two objects are equal, a negative number if this object is considered less than other, a positive number if this object is considered greater than other, or `nil` if the two objects are not comparable.

Subclasses define this method to provide class-specific ordering.

The comparison operator is usually used to sort values:

    # Sort in a descending way:
    [3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| y <=> x } # => [3, 2, 1]

    # Sort in an ascending way:
    [3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| x <=> y } # => [1, 2, 3]

def <=>(other : Float::Primitive) : Int32 | Nil #
def <=>(other : BigFloat) : Int32 #
def <=>(other : Int) : Int32 #
def ==(other : BigDecimal) : Bool #
Description copied from module Comparable(BigDecimal)

Compares this object to other based on the receiver’s `<=>` method, returning `true` if it returns `0`.

Also returns `true` if this and other are the same object.

def ceil : BigDecimal #

Rounds towards positive infinity.

def clone #
def div(other : BigDecimal, precision : Int = DEFAULT_PRECISION) : BigDecimal #

Divides `self` with another `BigDecimal`, with an optionally configurable precision.

When the division is inexact, the returned value rounds towards negative infinity, and its scale is never greater than `scale - other.scale + precision`.

    BigDecimal.new(1).div(BigDecimal.new(2))    # => BigDecimal(@value=5, @scale=2)
    BigDecimal.new(1).div(BigDecimal.new(3), 5) # => BigDecimal(@value=33333, @scale=5)

def div(other : BigDecimal, *, max_div_iterations = DEFAULT_MAX_DIV_ITERATIONS) : BigDecimal #

Divides `self` with another `BigDecimal`, with an optionally configurable precision.

When the division is inexact, the returned value rounds towards negative infinity, and its scale is never greater than `scale - other.scale + precision`.

    BigDecimal.new(1).div(BigDecimal.new(2))    # => BigDecimal(@value=5, @scale=2)
    BigDecimal.new(1).div(BigDecimal.new(3), 5) # => BigDecimal(@value=33333, @scale=5)

DEPRECATED Use `#div(other : BigDecimal, precision = DEFAULT_PRECISION)` instead

def floor : BigDecimal #

Rounds towards negative infinity.

def format(io : IO, separator = '.', delimiter = ',', decimal_places : Int | Nil = nil, *, group : Int = 3, only_significant : Bool = false) : Nil #

Prints this number as a `String` using a customizable format.

separator is used as decimal separator, delimiter as thousands delimiter between batches of group digits.

If decimal_places is `nil`, all significant decimal places are printed (similar to `#to_s`). If the argument has a numeric value, the number of visible decimal places will be fixed to that amount.

Trailing zeros are omitted if only_significant is `true`.

    123_456.789.format                                            # => "123,456.789"
    123_456.789.format(',', '.')                                  # => "123.456,789"
    123_456.789.format(decimal_places: 2)                         # => "123,456.79"
    123_456.789.format(decimal_places: 6)                         # => "123,456.789000"
    123_456.789.format(decimal_places: 6, only_significant: true) # => "123,456.789"

def integer? : Bool #

Returns `true` if `self` is an integer.

Non-integer types may return `true` as long as `self` denotes a finite value without any fractional parts.

    1.integer?       # => true
    1.0.integer?     # => true
    1.2.integer?     # => false
    (1 / 0).integer? # => false
    (0 / 0).integer? # => false

def normalize_quotient(other : BigDecimal, quotient : BigInt) : BigInt #

Returns the quotient as absolutely negative if `self` and other have different signs, otherwise returns the quotient.

def round(digits : Number, base = 10, *, mode : RoundingMode = :ties_even) : BigDecimal #
Description copied from struct Number

Rounds this number to a given precision.

Rounds to the specified number of digits after the decimal place, (or before if negative), in base base.

The rounding mode controls the direction of the rounding. The default is `RoundingMode::TIES_EVEN` which rounds to the nearest integer, with ties (fractional value of `0.5`) being rounded to the even neighbor (Banker's rounding).

    -1763.116.round(2) # => -1763.12

def round_away : BigDecimal #

Rounds towards the nearest integer. If both neighboring integers are equidistant, rounds away from zero.

def round_even : BigDecimal #

Rounds towards the nearest integer. If both neighboring integers are equidistant, rounds towards the even neighbor (Banker's rounding).

def scale : UInt64 #
def scale_to(new_scale : BigDecimal) : BigDecimal #

def to_json(json : JSON::Builder) : Nil #
def to_json_object_key #
def to_s(io : IO) : Nil #
Description copied from class Object

Prints a nicely readable and concise string representation of this object, typically intended for users, to io.

This method is called when an object is interpolated in a string literal:

    "foo #{bar} baz" # calls bar.to_io with the builder for this string

`IO#<<` calls this method to append an object to itself:

    io << bar # calls bar.to_s(io)

Thus implementations must not interpolate `self` in a string literal or call `io << self` which both would lead to an endless loop.

Also see `#inspect(IO)`.
