RWDecimalPortable represents an arbitrary precision decimal fraction.

The RWDecimalPortable class is designed to provide maximum portability. The portability achieved in RWDecimalPortable is gained at the expense of speed and power. For example, RWDecimalPortable does not support all of the functionality of the other decimal classes. In most cases we recommend that you use another of the decimal classes, but in situations in which the portability of a number is paramount, RWDecimalPortable is useful.

RWDecimalBase contains the following enum, used by the round() method:

enum RoundingMethod { PLAIN = 0, UP = 1, DOWN = 2, 
                      BANKERS = 3, TRUNCATE = 2 };

Rounding methods are defined in Table 5 below.

Table 5 -- Rounding methods

Method	Description	1.25	1.35	1.251
PLAIN	Rounds away from zero on a tie	1.3	1.4	1.3
UP	Always rounds away from zero	1.3	1.4	1.3
DOWN	Always rounds toward zero	1.2	1.3	1.2
TRUNCATE	Same as DOWN	1.2	1.3	1.2
BANKERS	On a tie, round so last digit is even	1.2	1.4	1.3

RWDecimalPortable();

The default constructor creates a value initialized to zero(0).

RWDecimalPortable(const char* input);

Parses input, which must be recognizable as a decimal number. Embedded commas to separate groups of digits are allowed. Negation may be expressed by a minus sign or with parentheses.

RWDecimalPortable(long intPart);

Constructs a value with intPart as the part before the decimal point.

operator RWCString();

Returns self as an RWCString. Format is, for example -23.21 or 0.32 or 432.

virtual RWspace
binaryStoreSize() const;

Returns the number of bytes required to store self using the saveOn() methods.

friend unsigned
hash() const;

Returns a value suitable for hashing.

RWBoolean
isNumber() const;

Returns FALSE if self represents a NaN, a missing value, or a NULL, otherwise TRUE.

friend void
restoreFrom(RWFile& file);

Reads file, replacing the contents of self.

friend void
restoreFrom(RWvistream& vis);

Reads vis, replacing the contents of self.

friend void
saveOn(RWFile& file) const;

Writes the contents of self to file.

friend void
saveOn(RWvostream& vos) const;

Writes the contents of self to vos.

void
trimZeros();

Removes leading zeros before self's decimal point and trailing zeros after.

RWDecimalPortable
round(const RWDecimalPortable&, int digits,
      RoundingMethod = RWDecimalBase::PLAIN);

Returns an RWDecimalPortable which is the result of rounding self according to the applied specifications.

double
toDouble(const RWDecimalPortable&);

Returns a double which approximates the value of self.

RWDecimalPortable 
operator-(const RWDecimalPortable&);
RWDecimalPortable 
operator+(const RWDecimalPortable&,
          const RWDecimalPortable&);
RWDecimalPortable 
operator-(const RWDecimalPortable&, 
          const RWDecimalPortable&);
RWDecimalPortable 
operator*(const RWDecimalPortable&,
          const RWDecimalPortable&);

Rudimentary math functions. These are not very efficient. For efficiency, use one of the decimal classes of Money.h++.

RWBoolean 
operator==(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
           const RWDecimalPortable& y);
RWBoolean 
operator>=(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
           const RWDecimalPortable& y);
RWBoolean 
operator!=(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
           const RWDecimalPortable& y);
RWBoolean 
operator<(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
          const RWDecimalPortable& y);
RWBoolean 
operator>(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
          const RWDecimalPortable& y);
RWBoolean 
operator<=(const RWDecimalPortable& x, 
           const RWDecimalPortable& y);

Relational operators.

ostream&
operator<<(ostream&, const RWDecimalPortable&);

Writes an RWDecimalPortable to an output stream.

ostream&
operator>>(istream&, RWDecimalPortable&);

Reads an RWDecimalPortable from an input stream.
