Fixed128 Data Type
Holds signed 128-bit (16-byte) fixed-point values with a default range −17,0141,1834,6046,923,173,168,730,371.5884105728 – +17,0141,1834,6046,923,173,168,730,371.5884105727.
Instructions
- Default value
- When you declare a variable of type Fixed128 and leave it uninitialized,, its value defaults to zero (¤0.0).
- Coercion
- The Fixed128 data type widens to Real32, Real64, Real, or Real128 without any risk of overflow.
- Type characters
- Fixed128 has no type characters.
Fixed128 literal
@ [ symbol ] integer_part [ . fractional_part ]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.
- integer_part
- One to 38 decimal digits. For the default number of decimal places, 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 places, the maximum is 10 digits. Any additional digits are ignored.
Constructors
Fixed128(Optional places As UInt = 10)- places specifies the number of places to the right of the decimal point. It must be between 1 and 39. The default is 10.
Shared methods and properties
Fixed128.Bits As UInt- Returns 128.
Fixed128.Epsilon(Optional x As Fixed128) As Fixed128- Returns the smallest value greater 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. If x is not given, it returns ¤17_0141_1834_6046_923_173_168_730_371.5884105727.
Fixed128.Min(Optional x As Fixed128) As Fixed128- Returns the smallest negative value for x. If x is not given, it returns −¤17_0141_1834_6046_923_173_168_730_371.5884105728.
Fixed128.Parse(str As String, Optional #fmt As Format) As Fixed128- Tries to parse a string that shows as a number.
- If #fmt is not given or is #Null, then it uses the format of the local culture. Or you can be explicit with “Format.#UserLocale”.
Examples
Dim price As Fixed128 = @$1_199.99
