BigDecimal

Class

BigDecimal provides arbitrary-precision floating point decimal arithmetic.

Introduction

Ruby provides built-in support for arbitrary precision integer arithmetic.

For example:

42**13  #=>   1265437718438866624512

BigDecimal provides similar support for very large or very accurate floating point numbers.

Decimal arithmetic is also useful for general calculation, because it provides the correct answers people expect–whereas normal binary floating point arithmetic often introduces subtle errors because of the conversion between base 10 and base 2.

For example, try:

sum = 0
10_000.times do
  sum = sum + 0.0001
end
print sum #=> 0.9999999999999062

and contrast with the output from:

require 'bigdecimal'

sum = BigDecimal("0")
10_000.times do
  sum = sum + BigDecimal("0.0001")
end
print sum #=> 0.1E1

Similarly:

(BigDecimal("1.2") - BigDecimal("1.0")) == BigDecimal("0.2") #=> true

(1.2 - 1.0) == 0.2 #=> false

Special features of accurate decimal arithmetic

Because BigDecimal is more accurate than normal binary floating point arithmetic, it requires some special values.

Infinity

BigDecimal sometimes needs to return infinity, for example if you divide a value by zero.

BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("0.0")  #=> Infinity
BigDecimal("-1.0") / BigDecimal("0.0")  #=> -Infinity

You can represent infinite numbers to BigDecimal using the strings 'Infinity', '+Infinity' and '-Infinity' (case-sensitive)

Not a Number

When a computation results in an undefined value, the special value NaN (for ‘not a number’) is returned.

Example:

BigDecimal("0.0") / BigDecimal("0.0") #=> NaN

You can also create undefined values.

NaN is never considered to be the same as any other value, even NaN itself:

n = BigDecimal('NaN')
n == 0.0 #=> false
n == n #=> false

Positive and negative zero

If a computation results in a value which is too small to be represented as a BigDecimal within the currently specified limits of precision, zero must be returned.

If the value which is too small to be represented is negative, a BigDecimal value of negative zero is returned.

BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("-Infinity") #=> -0.0

If the value is positive, a value of positive zero is returned.

BigDecimal("1.0") / BigDecimal("Infinity") #=> 0.0

(See BigDecimal.mode for how to specify limits of precision.)

Note that -0.0 and 0.0 are considered to be the same for the purposes of comparison.

Note also that in mathematics, there is no particular concept of negative or positive zero; true mathematical zero has no sign.

bigdecimal/util

When you require bigdecimal/util, the to_d method will be available on BigDecimal and the native Integer, Float, Rational, and String classes:

require 'bigdecimal/util'

42.to_d         # => 0.42e2
0.5.to_d        # => 0.5e0
(2/3r).to_d(3)  # => 0.667e0
"0.5".to_d      # => 0.5e0

Constants

VERSION

The version of bigdecimal library

BASE

Base value used in internal calculations. On a 32 bit system, BASE is 10000, indicating that calculation is done in groups of 4 digits. (If it were larger, BASE**2 wouldn’t fit in 32 bits, so you couldn’t guarantee that two groups could always be multiplied together without overflow.)

EXCEPTION_ALL

Determines whether overflow, underflow or zero divide result in an exception being thrown. See BigDecimal.mode.

EXCEPTION_NaN

Determines what happens when the result of a computation is not a number (NaN). See BigDecimal.mode.

EXCEPTION_INFINITY

Determines what happens when the result of a computation is infinity. See BigDecimal.mode.

EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW

Determines what happens when the result of a computation is an underflow (a result too small to be represented). See BigDecimal.mode.

EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW

Determines what happens when the result of a computation is an overflow (a result too large to be represented). See BigDecimal.mode.

EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE

Determines what happens when a division by zero is performed. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_MODE

Determines what happens when a result must be rounded in order to fit in the appropriate number of significant digits. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_UP

Indicates that values should be rounded away from zero. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_DOWN

Indicates that values should be rounded towards zero. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_HALF_UP

Indicates that digits >= 5 should be rounded up, others rounded down. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_HALF_DOWN

Indicates that digits >= 6 should be rounded up, others rounded down. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_CEILING

Round towards +Infinity. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_FLOOR

Round towards -Infinity. See BigDecimal.mode.

ROUND_HALF_EVEN

Round towards the even neighbor. See BigDecimal.mode.

SIGN_NaN

Indicates that a value is not a number. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_POSITIVE_ZERO

Indicates that a value is +0. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_NEGATIVE_ZERO

Indicates that a value is -0. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_POSITIVE_FINITE

Indicates that a value is positive and finite. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_NEGATIVE_FINITE

Indicates that a value is negative and finite. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_POSITIVE_INFINITE

Indicates that a value is positive and infinite. See BigDecimal.sign.

SIGN_NEGATIVE_INFINITE

Indicates that a value is negative and infinite. See BigDecimal.sign.

INFINITY

Positive infinity value.

NAN

‘Not a Number’ value.

Limit the number of significant digits in newly created BigDecimal numbers to the specified value. Rounding is performed as necessary, as specified by BigDecimal.mode.

A limit of 0, the default, means no upper limit.

The limit specified by this method takes less priority over any limit specified to instance methods such as ceil, floor, truncate, or round.

}

Controls handling of arithmetic exceptions and rounding. If no value is supplied, the current value is returned.

Six values of the mode parameter control the handling of arithmetic exceptions:

BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL

For each mode parameter above, if the value set is false, computation continues after an arithmetic exception of the appropriate type. When computation continues, results are as follows:

EXCEPTION_NaN: NaN
EXCEPTION_INFINITY: +Infinity or -Infinity
EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW: 0
EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW: +Infinity or -Infinity
EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE: +Infinity or -Infinity

One value of the mode parameter controls the rounding of numeric values: BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE. The values it can take are:

ROUND_UP, :up: round away from zero
ROUND_DOWN, :down, :truncate: round towards zero (truncate)
ROUND_HALF_UP, :half_up, :default: round towards the nearest neighbor, unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case round away from zero. (default)
ROUND_HALF_DOWN, :half_down: round towards the nearest neighbor, unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case round towards zero.
ROUND_HALF_EVEN, :half_even, :banker: round towards the nearest neighbor, unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case round towards the even neighbor (Banker’s rounding)
ROUND_CEILING, :ceiling, :ceil: round towards positive infinity (ceil)
ROUND_FLOOR, :floor: round towards negative infinity (floor)

The precision of the result value depends on the type of b.

If b is a Float, the precision of the result is Float::DIG+1.

If b is a BigDecimal, the precision of the result is b‘s precision of internal representation from platform. So, it’s return value is platform dependent.

        }
        obj = rb_assoc_new(b->obj, self);
    }

    return obj;
}

The coerce method provides support for Ruby type coercion. It is not enabled by default.

This means that binary operations like + * / or - can often be performed on a BigDecimal and an object of another type, if the other object can be coerced into a BigDecimal value.

e.g.

a = BigDecimal("1.0")
b = a / 2.0 #=> 0.5

Note that coercing a String to a BigDecimal is not supported by default; it requires a special compile-time option when building Ruby.

div(value, digits) → bigdecimal or integer

ext/bigdecimal/bigdecimal.c View on GitHub

          
            static VALUE
BigDecimal_div3(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE b,n;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &b, &n);

    return BigDecimal_div2(self, b, n);
}

Divide by the specified value.

digits

If specified and less than the number of significant digits of the result, the result is rounded to that number of digits, according to BigDecimal.mode.

If digits is 0, the result is the same as for the / operator or quo.

If digits is not specified, the result is an integer, by analogy with Float#div; see also BigDecimal#divmod.

Examples:

a = BigDecimal("4")
b = BigDecimal("3")

a.div(b, 3)  # => 0.133e1

a.div(b, 0)  # => 0.1333333333333333333e1
a / b        # => 0.1333333333333333333e1
a.quo(b)     # => 0.1333333333333333333e1

a.div(b)     # => 1

divmod(value)

ext/bigdecimal/bigdecimal.c View on GitHub

        return rb_assoc_new(ToValue(div), ToValue(mod));
    }
    return DoSomeOne(self,r,rb_intern("divmod"));
}

Divides by the specified value, and returns the quotient and modulus as BigDecimal numbers. The quotient is rounded towards negative infinity.

For example:

require 'bigdecimal'

a = BigDecimal("42")
b = BigDecimal("9")

q, m = a.divmod(b)

c = q * b + m

a == c  #=> true

The quotient q is (a/b).floor, and the modulus is the amount that must be added to q * b to get a.

Round to the nearest integer (by default), returning the result as a BigDecimal.

BigDecimal('3.14159').round #=> 3
BigDecimal('8.7').round #=> 9
BigDecimal('-9.9').round #=> -10

If n is specified and positive, the fractional part of the result has no more than that many digits.

If n is specified and negative, at least that many digits to the left of the decimal point will be 0 in the result.

BigDecimal('3.14159').round(3) #=> 3.142
BigDecimal('13345.234').round(-2) #=> 13300.0

The value of the optional mode argument can be used to determine how rounding is performed; see BigDecimal.mode.

Returns the sign of the value.

Returns a positive value if > 0, a negative value if < 0, and a zero if == 0.

The specific value returned indicates the type and sign of the BigDecimal, as follows:

BigDecimal::SIGN_NaN: value is Not a Number
BigDecimal::SIGN_POSITIVE_ZERO: value is +0
BigDecimal::SIGN_NEGATIVE_ZERO: value is -0
BigDecimal::SIGN_POSITIVE_INFINITE: value is +Infinity
BigDecimal::SIGN_NEGATIVE_INFINITE: value is -Infinity

}

Splits a BigDecimal number into four parts, returned as an array of values.

The first value represents the sign of the BigDecimal, and is -1 or 1, or 0 if the BigDecimal is Not a Number.

The second value is a string representing the significant digits of the BigDecimal, with no leading zeros.

The third value is the base used for arithmetic (currently always 10) as an Integer.

The fourth value is an Integer exponent.

If the BigDecimal can be represented as 0.xxxxxx*10**n, then xxxxxx is the string of significant digits with no leading zeros, and n is the exponent.

From these values, you can translate a BigDecimal to a float as follows:

sign, significant_digits, base, exponent = a.split
f = sign * "0.#{significant_digits}".to_f * (base ** exponent)

(Note that the to_f method is provided as a more convenient way to translate a BigDecimal to a Float.)

        VpLeftRound(cv, VpGetRoundMode(), mx);
        return ToValue(cv);
    }
}

Subtract the specified value.

e.g.

c = a.sub(b,n)

digits: If specified and less than the number of significant digits of the result, the result is rounded to that number of digits, according to BigDecimal.mode.

The optional parameter s consists of either an integer; or an optional ‘+’ or ‘ ’, followed by an optional number, followed by an optional ‘E’ or ‘F’.

If there is a ‘+’ at the start of s, positive values are returned with a leading ‘+’.

A space at the start of s returns positive values with a leading space.

If s contains a number, a space is inserted after each group of that many fractional digits.

If s ends with an ‘E’, engineering notation (0.xxxxEnn) is used.

If s ends with an ‘F’, conventional floating point notation is used.

Examples:

BigDecimal('-123.45678901234567890').to_s('5F')
  #=> '-123.45678 90123 45678 9'

BigDecimal('123.45678901234567890').to_s('+8F')
  #=> '+123.45678901 23456789'

BigDecimal('123.45678901234567890').to_s(' F')
  #=> ' 123.4567890123456789'

Truncate to the nearest integer (by default), returning the result as a BigDecimal.

BigDecimal('3.14159').truncate #=> 3
BigDecimal('8.7').truncate #=> 8
BigDecimal('-9.9').truncate #=> -9

If n is specified and positive, the fractional part of the result has no more than that many digits.

If n is specified and negative, at least that many digits to the left of the decimal point will be 0 in the result.

BigDecimal('3.14159').truncate(3) #=> 3.141
BigDecimal('13345.234').truncate(-2) #=> 13300.0
