Fixed128
and do not initialize it, its default value is zero (¤0.0). - Automatic conversions
Fixed128
widens toReal32

or
¤ integer_part [ . fractional_part ]
Parts
symbol
- Optional one character.
Some permitted symbols are:
$
,€
,£
, and¥
. - these symbols are ignored by the compiler. If you use a symbol, use the same one in all of your code.

- One to 38 decimal digits.
For the default number of decimal digits, the maximum is 29 digits.
You can use an underscore (
_
) to divide it into groups of digits. fractional_part
- One to 39 decimal digits. For the default number of decimal digits, the maximum is 10 digits. All digits after that are ignored.
Constructors
Fixed128(Optional digits As Int32 = 10)
digits
specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point. It must be between 1 and 39. The default is 10.
Shared methods and properties
Fixed128.Default As Fixed128
- Returns the default value,
¤0.0
. Fixed128.Epsilon(Optional x As Fixed128) As Fixed128
- Returns the smallest value more than ¤0.0.
If
x
is not given, it returns ¤0.0000000001. Fixed128.Max(Optional x As Fixed128) As Fixed128
- Returns the largest positive value for
x
. Ifx
is not given, it returns¤17_014_118_346_046_923_173_168_730_371.5884105727
. Fixed128.Min(Optional x As Fixed128) As Fixed128
- Returns the smallest negative value for
x
. Ifx
is not given, it returns-¤17_014_118_346_046_923_173_168_730_371.5884105728
. Fixed128.Parse(str As String, Optional #format As Format) As Fixed128
- Tries to parse a string that shows as a number.
- If
#format
is not given or is#Null
, it uses the format of the local culture. Or you can make it clear withFormat.UserLocale
. Fixed128.Size As Int32
- Returns the number of available bytes. This is always 16.
