The setParseBigDecimal() method of the DecimalFormat class in Java is used to set whether the parse() method of the DecimalFormat class will return a value of BigInteger type or not. If this method is set true, then the parse() method will return a BigDecimal value.
Syntax:
public void setParseBigDecimal(boolean newValue)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter newValue of boolean type. If this value is set true, then the parse() method will return a BigDecimal value.
Return Value: This method does not returns any value.
Below programs illustrate the above method:
Program 1:
// Java program to illustrate the// setParseBigDecimal() method import java.text.DecimalFormat; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a DecimalFormat instance DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat(); deciFormat.setParseBigDecimal(true); System.out.println(deciFormat.isParseBigDecimal()); }} |
Output:
true
Program 2:
// Java program to illustrate the// setParseBigDecimal() method import java.text.DecimalFormat; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Create a DecimalFormat instance DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat(); deciFormat.setParseBigDecimal(false); System.out.println(deciFormat.isParseBigDecimal()); }} |
Output:
false
