Java BigDecimal movePointLeft() method

The movePointLeft() method of Java BigDecimal class is used to move the decimal point of the current BigDecimal by n places to the left.

Note:
If n is non-negative, the call merely adds n to the scale.
If n is negative, the call is equivalent to movePointRight(-n).

The BigDecimal returned by this call has value (this � 10-n) and scale max(this.scale()+n, 0).

Syntax:

Parameter:

n: number of places to move the decimal point to the left.

Exception:

ArithmeticException- If scale overflows, then it throws exception:

Returns:

It returns a BigDecimal which is equivalent to this one with the decimal point moved n places to the left.

Example 1

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointLeftExample1 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {  
        // Creating BigDecimal objects  
        BigDecimal bdValue_1,  bdFinalValue;  
            
        //Assigning Value into BigDecimal object   
        bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("123.23");  
  
        //it returns BigDecimal value with  3 points left  
        bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointLeft(3);  
  
        // Displaying bdFinalValue values  
        System.out.println("Final result after 3 move point left ="+bdFinalValue );  
    }
}  

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after 3 move point left =0.12323

Example 2

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointLeftExample2 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
	    // Creating BigDecimal objects
	    BigDecimal bdValue_1,  bdFinalValue;
           
	    //Assigning Value into BigDecimal object 
	    bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("53454400000");

	    //it returns BigDecimal value with  4 points left
	    bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointLeft(4);

	    // Displaying bdFinalValue values
 	    System.out.println("Final result after 4 move point left ="+bdFinalValue );
	}
}  

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after 4 move point left =5345440.0000

Example 3

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointLeftExample3 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
	    // Creating BigDecimal objects
	    BigDecimal bdValue_1,  bdFinalValue;
           
	    //Assigning Value into BigDecimal object 
	    bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("534544");

	    //it returns BigDecimal value with  -2  points left
	    bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointLeft(-2);

	    // Displaying bdFinalValue values
	    System.out.println("Final result after -2 move point left ="+bdFinalValue );
	}
} 

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after -2 move point left =53454400

Example 4

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointLeftExample4 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
	    // Creating BigDecimal objects
	    BigDecimal bdValue_1,  bdFinalValue;
           
	    //Assigning Value into BigDecimal object 
	    bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("-5537427.33457");

	    //it returns BigDecimal value with  -2  points left
	    bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointLeft(-2);

	    // Displaying bdFinalValue values
	    System.out.println("Final result after -2 move point left ="+bdFinalValue );
	}
} 

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after -2 move point left =-553742733.457
