Data type for currency in Kotlin

Question

I'm new for Kotlin. I did search and read the docs but couldn't figure out What the best data type to use in Kotlin for currency. In Java there is BigDecimal. Is there something similar in Kotlin? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can use BigDecimal in kotlin too.

var num1 : BigDecimal? = BigDecimal.ZERO

var num2  = BigDecimal("67.9") 

Also you can use Double data type and then you can use toBigDecimal() for convert it to BigDecimal.
