Syntax error Multiply one BigDecimal to another BigDecimal in Java

Multiply one BigDecimal to another BigDecimal in Java

Use the multiply() method to multiply one BigDecimal to another in Java. This method returns a BigDecimal whose value is (this × multiplicand), and whose scale is (this.scale() + multiplicand.scale()).

The following is an example −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
      BigDecimal val1 = new BigDecimal("375789755.345778656");
      BigDecimal val2 = new BigDecimal("525678755.155778656");
      System.out.println("Value 1 = "+val1);
      System.out.println("Value 2 = "+val2);
      val2 = val2.multiply(val1);
      System.out.println("Result (Multiplication) = "+val2);
   }
}

Output

Value 1 = 375789755.345778656
Value 2 = 525678755.155778656
Result (Multiplication) = 197544690790463541.417987494305166336

Let us see another example −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.math.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      BigDecimal bg1, bg2, bg3;
      bg1 = new BigDecimal("58.98");
      bg2 = new BigDecimal("78.89");
      bg3 = bg1.multiply(bg2);
      String str = "Multiplication = " +bg3;
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Output

Multiplication = 4652.9322
