  2188.     <h6>Why are trailing fractional zeros removed from BigNumbers?</h6>
    2189. 

  2189.     <p>
    2190. 

  2190.       Some arbitrary-precision libraries retain trailing fractional zeros as they can indicate the
    2191. 

  2191.       precision of a value. This can be useful but the results of arithmetic operations can be
    2192. 

  2192.       misleading.
    2193. 

  2193.     </p>
    2194. 

  2194.     <pre>
    2195. 

  2195. x = new BigDecimal("1.0")
    2196. 

  2196. y = new BigDecimal("1.1000")
    2197. 

  2197. z = x.add(y)                      // 2.1000
    2198. 

  2198. 

  2199. x = new BigDecimal("1.20")
    2200. 

  2200. y = new BigDecimal("3.45000")
    2201. 

  2201. z = x.multiply(y)                 // 4.1400000</pre>
    2202. 

  2202.     <p>
    2203. 

  2203.       To specify the precision of a value is to specify that the value lies
    2204. 

  2204.       within a certain range.
    2205. 

  2205.     </p>
    2206. 

  2206.     <p>
    2207. 

  2207.       In the first example, <code>x</code> has a value of <code>1.0</code>. The trailing zero shows
    2208. 

  2208.       the precision of the value, implying that it is in the range <code>0.95</code> to
    2209. 

  2209.       <code>1.05</code>. Similarly, the precision indicated by the trailing zeros of <code>y</code>
    2210. 

  2210.       indicates that the value is in the range <code>1.09995</code> to <code>1.10005</code>.
    2211. 

  2211.     </p>
    2212. 

  2212.     <p>
    2213. 

  2213.       If we  add the two lowest values in the ranges we have, <code>0.95 + 1.09995 = 2.04995</code>,
    2214. 

  2214.       and if we add the two highest values we have, <code>1.05 + 1.10005 = 2.15005</code>, so the
    2215. 

  2215.       range of the result of the addition implied by the precision of its operands is
    2216. 

  2216.       <code>2.04995</code> to <code>2.15005</code>.
    2217. 

  2217.     </p>
    2218. 

  2218.     <p>
    2219. 

  2219.       The result given by BigDecimal of <code>2.1000</code> however, indicates that the value is in
    2220. 

  2220.       the range <code>2.09995</code> to <code>2.10005</code> and therefore the precision implied by
    2221. 

  2221.       its trailing zeros may be misleading.
    2222. 

  2222.     </p>
    2223. 

  2223.     <p>
    2224. 

  2224.       In the second example, the true range is <code>4.122744</code> to <code>4.157256</code> yet
    2225. 

  2225.       the BigDecimal answer of <code>4.1400000</code> indicates a range of <code>4.13999995</code>
    2226. 

  2226.       to  <code>4.14000005</code>. Again, the precision implied by the trailing zeros may be
    2227. 

  2227.       misleading.
    2228. 

  2228.     </p>
    2229. 

  2229.     <p>
    2230. 

  2230.       This library, like binary floating point and most calculators, does not retain trailing
    2231. 

  2231.       fractional zeros. Instead, the <code>toExponential</code>, <code>toFixed</code> and
    2232. 

  2232.       <code>toPrecision</code> methods enable trailing zeros to be added if and when required.<br />
