Strange BigDecimal result
Hello friends,
I am a bit confused at this behavior of BigDecimal, maybe someone has insight.
When I compare:
java.math.BigDecimal(0) == java.math.BigDecimal(0.00) // true
However, when I compare:
java.math.BigDecimal(0) == (0.00).toBigDecimal() // false
Why is there a difference when converting from Double? I see that the standard library first converts double to String before making it a BigDecimal. Can this be why? And why convert it to String first??
