---------------------------------
Summary: Providing new class BigDecimalUtils
Key: LANG-843
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-843
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: lang.*
Reporter: Premysl Maly
Priority: Minor
Creating Utils class BigDecimalUtils and offering a new implementation of
method equals() in ObjectUtils.
Quoting the javaDoc from BigDecimalUtils:
Provides some extra functionality over the BigDecimal class type Comparing two
different BigDecimals may be tricky, because yet the value is same, the format
may differ and then the equals method implemented on BigDecimal does not return
expected results.
BigDecimal first = new BigDecimal("0.10");
BigDecimal second = new BigDecimal("0.100");
first.equals(second); will return false, because those two numbers are not
using the same format, even though the values are both "0.1".
Usage examples:
Compare a number to 1: if(BigDecimalUtils.equals(someNumber, BigDecimal.ONE))
compare two numbers whether they are the same value or both null:
if(BigDecimalUtils.equals(someNumber, anotherNumber, NullsEquality.EQUALS))
