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
