Decimal

The decimal package provides an arbitrary-precision floating-point decimal implementation in Go. It represents a number as a value and scale, allowing for precise calculations without losing decimal points.

Features

• Representation of floating-point numbers with arbitrary precision.
• Support for basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc. (if those methods are defined in your package).
• Utility functions to marshal and unmarshal decimal values.
• Utility functions to serialize and deserialize decimal values.

Installation

To install the ‍‍decimal package, run the following command:

go get github.com/talon-one/decimal

Usage

Here's how you can use the decimal package:

Creating a Decimal:

import "github.com/talon-one/decimal"

// Create a new decimal with a value and scale
d := decimal.New(12345, -3) // Represents 12345000

// Create a decimal from an integer
d := decimal.NewFromInt(42) // Represents 42
