Is there an arbitrary-precision decimal class available for C#? I've seen a couple of arbitrary precision integer classes, but that's not quite the same thing.

Any number that looks like an integer in a source or data file is stored as an arbitrary-precision integer. The size of the integer is limited only by the available memory.
Precision determines the accuracy of the real numbers and is denoted by the dot (.) symbol. The Exactness or Accuracy of real numbers is indicated by the number of digits after the decimal point. So, precision means the number of digits mentioned after the decimal point in the float number.
Arbitrary-precision arithmetic in most computer software is implemented by calling an external library that provides data types and subroutines to store numbers with the requested precision and to perform computations.
You can use decimal data types to represent large numbers accurately, especially in business and commercial applications for financial calculations. You can pass decimal arguments in function calls and in define macros.
You can use J# library's java.math.BigDecimal class if you have it installed. Just add a reference to vjslib.
/me remembers one of the betas in which we had System.Numeric.BigDecimal, sigh
