BigDecimal (codenameone-core 7.0.42 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.codename1.util.BigDecimal

```
public class BigDecimal
extends Object
```
Class representing a simple version of a big decimal. A BigDecimal is basically a BigInteger with a few digits on the right of the decimal point. The number of (binary) digits on the right of the decimal point is called the scale of the BigDecimal. Unlike in BigDecimal, the scale is not adjusted automatically, but must be set manually. All BigDecimals taking part in the same arithmetic operation must have equal scale. The result of a multiplication of two BigDecimals returns a BigDecimal with double scale.

This method is not part of the JDK's `BigDecimal` class and its presence is historical, as the first implementation of Codename One's BigDecimal class was ported from BouncyCastle, which is different than the JDK's BigDecimal class in that is optimizes binary arithmetic. The implementation of this method is counter-intuitive since it performs a bitwise left shift on `value` before scaling it. Use `BigDecimal(com.codename1.util.BigInteger, int)` instead if you just want to convert a `BigInteger` into a `BigDecimal`. Do not rely on this method as it will be removed in a future version of Codename One..

public BigDecimal(BigInteger bigInt,
                  int scale)
```
    Constructor for BigDecimal. The value of the constructed BigDecimal equals bigInt / 10^scale.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bigInt - The bigInt value parameter.
    
    scale - The scale of the constructed BigDecimal.
