Detailed Description

Fixed-point decimal number.

This simple implementation uses a signed 64-bit integer as the raw encoding, and provides 6 decimal digits of precision. That is, the fractional part of the decimal number may be precisely expressed as a whole number of one-millionths.

Noting that:

  • the decimal number is stored in a signed 64-bit integer
  • 6 decimal digits of precision are provided
  • size of the space of 64-bit values: 18,446,744,073,709,551,616.
  • half the above size is: 9,223,372,036,854,775,808.

We get:

  • minimum representable value: -9,223,372,036,854.775808
  • maximum representable value: +9,223,372,036,854.775807

Addition and subtraction are simple: just add or subtract the "raw" underlying integers, and the result of that is the correct decimal answer.

Multiplication and division are very simple too, but they do need a simple shift adjustment to restore correct scaling factor, as well as a rounding adjustment to minimize loss of precision when extra digits in the result of a calculation are discarded. For example, 2/3 will be calculated as 0.666667 (and not 0.666666).

Note that if you call toString() with digits < 6, the printed number may be rounded up to show the closest approximation to the actual stored number in the specified number of digits:

Decimal a("0.999999"), b("0.66899");
cout << a.toString(2) << endl; // outputs "1.00" !
cout << b.toString(2) << endl; // outputs "0.67"

If you don't want this behavior, specify round=false when calling toString().

Member Function Documentation

◆ copy()

virtual void utl::Decimal::copy ( const Object rhs)
virtual

Copy another instance.

When you override copy(), you should usually call the superclass's copy().

Parameters
rhsobject to copy

Reimplemented from utl::Object.

◆ compare()

virtual int utl::Decimal::compare ( const Object rhs) const
virtual

Compare with another object.

If no overridden version succeeds in doing the comparison, then an attempt will be made to re-start the comparison process using one or both of the objects' keys. Usually, an override of compare() should call the superclass's compare() if it doesn't know how to compare itself with the rhs object.

See also
getKey
Returns
< 0 if self < rhs, 0 if self = rhs, > 0 if self > rhs
Parameters
rhsobject to compare with

Reimplemented from utl::Object.

◆ serialize()

virtual void utl::Decimal::serialize ( Stream stream,
uint_t  io,
uint_t  mode = ser_default 
)
virtual

Serialize to or from a stream.

This is the only virtual method for serialization. You must override this in any class that has data to be serialized, and ensure that the superclass's serialize() gets called.

Parameters
streamstream to serialize from/to
iosee utl::io_t
modesee utl::serialize_t

Reimplemented from utl::Object.

◆ toString() [1/2]

virtual String utl::Decimal::toString ( ) const
virtual

Return a string representation of self.

Reimplemented from utl::Object.

◆ toString() [2/2]

String utl::Decimal::toString ( uint_t  digits,
bool  round = true 
) const

Convert to string representation.

Parameters
digitsnumber of digits of precision
round(optional : true) round up to show best approximation (if digits < 6)?

◆ set()

Decimal& utl::Decimal::set ( const String str)

Set from string representation.

◆ abs()

Decimal& utl::Decimal::abs ( )
inline

Take the absolute value.

Definition at line 100 of file Decimal.h.

◆ floor()

Decimal& utl::Decimal::floor ( )
inline

Remove any fractional component.

Definition at line 108 of file Decimal.h.
