decimal

In this chapter you will learn:

1. decimal type
2. decimal literials

Declare decimal variable

decimal is intended for use in monetary calculations. It utilizes 128 bits to represent values within the range 1E-28 to 7.9E+28. decimal eliminates the rounding errors caused by the normal floating-point data type.

The following code creates a decimal by specifying a Literal decimal,

class MainClass//from  j av a2 s  .c o  m
{
  static void Main()
  {

    System.Console.WriteLine(1.618m);
  }
}

decimal literials

using System;/*j  a v a 2  s.com*/

class Class1
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
           decimal f;
           f = 999999999.123456789123456789123456789m;
           Console.WriteLine( "{0}", f );
  }
}

Decimal implements the following interfaces:

• IComparable
• IConvertible
• IFormattable
