Enum FloatConversion

Specifies floating-point conversion modes.

Namespace: Singulink.Numerics

Assembly: Singulink.Numerics.BigDecimal.dll

Syntax

public enum FloatConversion

Fields

Name	Description
Exact	Indicates that the floating-point value should be converted to its exact value. This mode is fast but can result in a large number of digits being produced beyond the significant digits or digits required for proper round-tripping of the floating-point value.
ParseString	Indicates that the floating-point value's ToString() implementation should be used to produce the digits. This is the slowest conversion mode and does not round-trip properly for all floating-point values.
Roundtrip	Indicates that the floating-point value's maximum number of significant digits should be used, i.e. 9 for Single and 17 for Double. This mode is fast and results in a value that can be round-tripped back to the exact same floating-point value (i.e. the floating-point values will compare as equal) but may contain a couple extra "junk" digits.
Truncate	Indicates that the floating-point value's minimum number of significant digits should be used, i.e. 7 for Single and 15 for Double. This matches the conversion behavior of floating-point types to Decimal values. This mode is fast and produces a result that does not contain any extra "junk" digits but does not round-trip properly for all floating-point values and may lose a small amount of precision for some values.
