Overview

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

A Note About Precision

For a calculation using a BigDecimal and another value, the precision of the result depends on the type of value:

  • If value is a Float, the precision is Float::DIG + 1.

  • If value is a Rational, the precision is larger than Float::DIG + 1.

  • If value is a BigDecimal, the precision is value‘s precision in the internal representation, which is platform-dependent.

  • If value is other object, the precision is determined by the result of BigDecimal(value).

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, String, Complex, and NilClass 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
Complex(0.1234567, 0).to_d(4)   # => 0.1235e0
nil.to_d                        # => 0.0

Methods for Working with JSON

  • ::json_create: Returns a new BigDecimal object constructed from the given object.

  • #as_json: Returns a 2-element hash representing self.

  • #to_json: Returns a JSON string representing self.

These methods are provided by the JSON gem. To make these methods available:

.mode(mode, setting = nil) ⇒ Integer

Returns an integer representing the mode settings for exception handling and rounding.

These modes control exception handling:

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN.

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY.

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW.

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW.

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE.

  • BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL.

Values for setting for exception handling:

  • true: sets the given mode to true.

  • false: sets the given mode to false.

  • nil: does not modify the mode settings.

You can use method BigDecimal.save_exception_mode to temporarily change, and then automatically restore, exception modes.

For clarity, some examples below begin by setting all exception modes to false.

This mode controls the way rounding is to be performed:

  • BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE

You can use method BigDecimal.save_rounding_mode to temporarily change, and then automatically restore, the rounding mode.

NaNs

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN controls behavior when a BigDecimal NaN is created.

Settings:

  • false (default): Returns BigDecimal('NaN').

  • true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false) # => 0
BigDecimal('NaN')                                 # => NaN
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_NaN, true)  # => 2
BigDecimal('NaN') # Raises FloatDomainError

Infinities

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY controls behavior when a BigDecimal Infinity or -Infinity is created. Settings:

  • false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

  • true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)     # => 0
BigDecimal('Infinity')                                # => Infinity
BigDecimal('-Infinity')                               # => -Infinity
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_INFINITY, true) # => 1
BigDecimal('Infinity')  # Raises FloatDomainError
BigDecimal('-Infinity') # Raises FloatDomainError

Underflow

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW controls behavior when a BigDecimal underflow occurs. Settings:

  • false (default): Returns BigDecimal('0') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

  • true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)      # => 0
def flow_under
  x = BigDecimal('0.1')
  100.times { x *= x }
end
flow_under                                             # => 100
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_UNDERFLOW, true) # => 4
flow_under # Raises FloatDomainError

Overflow

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW controls behavior when a BigDecimal overflow occurs. Settings:

  • false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

  • true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)     # => 0
def flow_over
  x = BigDecimal('10')
  100.times { x *= x }
end
flow_over                                             # => 100
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_OVERFLOW, true) # => 1
flow_over # Raises FloatDomainError

Zero Division

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE controls behavior when a zero-division occurs. Settings:

  • false (default): Returns BigDecimal('Infinity') or BigDecimal('-Infinity').

  • true: Raises FloatDomainError.

Examples:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false)       # => 0
one = BigDecimal('1')
zero = BigDecimal('0')
one / zero                                              # => Infinity
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ZERODIVIDE, true) # => 16
one / zero # Raises FloatDomainError

All Exceptions

Mode BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL controls all of the above:

BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, false) # => 0
BigDecimal.mode(BigDecimal::EXCEPTION_ALL, true)  # => 23

Rounding

Mode BigDecimal::ROUND_MODE controls the way rounding is to be performed; its setting values are:

  • ROUND_UP: Round away from zero. Aliased as :up.

  • ROUND_DOWN: Round toward zero. Aliased as :down and :truncate.

  • ROUND_HALF_UP: Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round away from zero. Aliased as :half_up and :default.

  • ROUND_HALF_DOWN: Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round toward zero. Aliased as :half_down.

  • ROUND_HALF_EVEN (Banker’s rounding): Round toward the nearest neighbor; if the neighbors are equidistant, round toward the even neighbor. Aliased as :half_even and :banker.

  • ROUND_CEILING: Round toward positive infinity. Aliased as :ceiling and :ceil.

  • ROUND_FLOOR: Round toward negative infinity. Aliased as :floor:.

#coerce(other) ⇒ Object

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(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

div(value)  -> integer
div(value, digits)  -> bigdecimal or integer

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.

See BigDecimal#/. See BigDecimal#quo.

Examples:

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

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

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

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.

value is Not a Number

BigDecimal::SIGN_POSITIVE_ZERO

value is +0

BigDecimal::SIGN_NEGATIVE_ZERO

value is -0

BigDecimal::SIGN_POSITIVE_INFINITE

#splitObject

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.)

call-seq:

a.to_digits -> string

Converts a BigDecimal to a String of the form “nnnnnn.mmm”. This method is deprecated; use BigDecimal#to_s(“F”) instead.

require 'bigdecimal/util'

d = BigDecimal("3.14")
d.to_digits                  # => "3.14"

#to_s(s) ⇒ Object

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 digits, starting from ‘.’ and counting outwards.

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

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

Examples:

BigDecimal('-1234567890123.45678901234567890').to_s('5F')
  #=> '-123 45678 90123.45678 90123 45678 9'

BigDecimal('1234567890123.45678901234567890').to_s('+8F')
  #=> '+12345 67890123.45678901 23456789'

BigDecimal('1234567890123.45678901234567890').to_s(' F')
  #=> ' 1234567890123.4567890123456789'

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
