Big Decimal issue

[shoeb sattar]

My question is my project uses "com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal" and "java.math.BigDecimal".
What is diference between them? How can we convert one to other?

Don’t know. You would have to look at the API documentation for those two classes.

Like Campbell, I don't know what the differences are, but I suspect very strongly that com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal will have a method to convert the value to a String, so you can probably convert with something like:

com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal weirdBigDecimal; // created however
BigDecimal myBigDecimal = new BigDecimal(weirdBigDecimal.toString());

And to convert the other way com.ibm.icu.math.BigDecimal has a constructor that takes a java.math.BigDecimal as a parameter.
