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
for i in (1..10000)
sum = sum + 0.0001
end
print sum
and contrast with the output from:
require 'bigdecimal'
sum = BigDecimal.new("0")
for i in (1..10000)
sum = sum + BigDecimal.new("0.0001")
end
print sum
Similarly:
(BigDecimal.new("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.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("0.0") -> infinity
BigDecimal.new("-1.0") / BigDecimal.new("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.new("0.0") / BigDecimal.new("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.new('NaN')
n == 0.0 -> nil
n == n -> nil
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. If the value is positive, a value of positive zero is returned.
BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("-Infinity") -> -0.0
BigDecimal.new("1.0") / BigDecimal.new("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.
Constant Summary
- 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.)

BigDecimal.limit(digits)
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.

|
+ (Object) mode
BigDecimal.mode(mode, value)
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 |
round away from zero |
ROUND_DOWN |
round towards zero (truncate) |
ROUND_HALF_UP |
round up if the appropriate digit >= 5, otherwise truncate (default) |
ROUND_HALF_DOWN |
round up if the appropriate digit >= 6, otherwise truncate |
ROUND_HALF_EVEN |
round towards the even neighbor (Banker's rounding) |
ROUND_CEILING |
round towards positive infinity (ceil) |
ROUND_FLOOR |
round towards negative infinity (floor) |

- (Object) coerce
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.new("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.

|
- (Object) div
- (Object) 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.new("42") b = BigDecimal.new("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.

- (Object) split
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.)

- (Object) to_s
to_s(s)
Converts the value to a string.
The default format looks like 0.xxxxEnn.
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.new('-123.45678901234567890').to_s('5F') -> '-123.45678 90123 45678 9'
