Java BigDecimal movePointRight() method

The movePointRight() method of java BigDecimal class is used to move the decimal point of the current BigDecimal by n places to the right.

Note:
If n is non-negative, the call merely subtracts n from the scale.
If n is negative, the call is equivalent to movePointLeft(-n).

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

Syntax:

Parameter:

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

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 right.

Example 1

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointRightExample1 {

	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 right
	      bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointRight(3);

	      // Displaying bdFinalValue values
	      System.out.println("Final result after 3 move point right ="+bdFinalValue );
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after 3 move point right =123230

Example 2

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointRightExample2 {

	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  4 points right
	      bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointRight(4);

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

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after 4 move point right =5345440000

Example 3

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointRightExample3 {

	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 right
	      bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointRight(-2);

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

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after -2 move point right =5345.44

Example 4

import java.math.BigDecimal;  
public class BigDecimalMovePointRightExample4 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		
	      // Creating BigDecimal objects
	      BigDecimal bdValue_1,  bdFinalValue;
        
	      //Assigning Value into BigDecimal object 
	      bdValue_1 = new BigDecimal("534.1254");

	      //it returns BigDecimal value with  -6 points right
	      bdFinalValue = bdValue_1.movePointRight(-6);

	      // Displaying bdFinalValue values
	      System.out.println("Final result after -6 move point right ="+bdFinalValue );
	}
}

Test it Now

Output:

Final result after -6 move point right =0.0005341254
