The
java.math.BigDecimal.max(BigDecimal val) method in Java is used to compare two BigDecimal values and return the
maximum of the two. This is opposite to BigDecimal max() method in Java.
Syntax:
public BigDecimal max(BigDecimal val)
Parameters: The function accepts a BigDecimal object
val as parameter whose value is compared with that of
this BigDecimal object and the maximum value is returned.
Return Values: This method returns the BigDecimal whose value is the greater of
this BigDecimal and
val. In case if both are equal,
this BigDecimal is returned.
Examples:
Input : a = 17.000041900, b = 17.0000418999
Output : 17.000041900
Input : a = 235900000146, b = 236000000000
Output : 236000000000
Below programs will illustrate max() function of BigDecimal class.
Program 1:
Output:
Maximum Value among 235900000146 and 236000000000 is 236000000000
Program 2:
