Hi

Use the method compareTo

public int compareTo(BigDecimal val)

Compares this BigDecimal with the specified BigDecimal. Two BigDecimal objects that are equal in value but have a different scale (like 2.0 and 2.00) are considered equal by this method. This method is provided in preference to individual methods for each of the six boolean comparison operators (<, ==, >, >=, !=, <=). The suggested idiom for performing these comparisons is: (x.compareTo(y) <op> 0), where <op> is one of the six comparison operators.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable<BigDecimal>

Parameters:

val - BigDecimal to which this BigDecimal is to be compared.

Returns:

-1, 0, or 1 as this BigDecimal is numerically less than, equal to, or greater than val.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use following method.

public int compareTo(BigDecimal val);

Ex.BigDecimal val1,val2;

val1.compareTo(BigDecimal val2);

it will return -1, 0, or 1 as this val1 is numerically less than, equal to, or greater than val2.
