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