/**
 * The <code>BigDecimal</code> class implements immutable arbitrary-precision decimal numbers. The methods of the
 * <code>BigDecimal</code> class provide operations for fixed and floating point arithmetic, comparison, format
 * conversions, and hashing.
 * <p>
 * As the numbers are decimal, there is an exact correspondence between an instance of a <code>BigDecimal</code> object
 * and its <code>String</code> representation; the <code>BigDecimal</code> class provides direct conversions to and from
 * <code>String</code> and character array (<code>char[]</code>) objects, as well as conversions to and from the Java
 * primitive types (which may not be exact) and <code>BigInteger</code>.
 * <p>
 * In the descriptions of constructors and methods in this documentation, the value of a <code>BigDecimal</code> number
 * object is shown as the result of invoking the <code>toString()</code> method on the object. The internal
 * representation of a decimal number is neither defined nor exposed, and is not permitted to affect the result of any
 * operation.
 * <p>
 * The floating point arithmetic provided by this class is defined by the ANSI X3.274-1996 standard, and is also
 * documented at <code>http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal</code> <br>
 * <i>[This URL will change.]</i>
 * 
 * <h3>Operator methods</h3>
 * <p>
 * Operations on <code>BigDecimal</code> numbers are controlled by a {@link MathContext} object, which provides the
 * context (precision and other information) for the operation. Methods that can take a <code>MathContext</code>
 * parameter implement the standard arithmetic operators for <code>BigDecimal</code> objects and are known as
 * <i>operator methods</i>. The default settings provided by the constant {@link MathContext#DEFAULT} (<code>digits=9,
 * form=SCIENTIFIC, lostDigits=false, roundingMode=ROUND_HALF_UP</code>) perform general-purpose floating point
 * arithmetic to nine digits of precision. The <code>MathContext</code> parameter must not be <code>null</code>.
 * <p>
 * Each operator method also has a version provided which does not take a <code>MathContext</code> parameter. For this
 * version of each method, the context settings used are <code>digits=0,
 * form=PLAIN, lostDigits=false, roundingMode=ROUND_HALF_UP</code>; these settings perform fixed point arithmetic with
 * unlimited precision, as defined for the original BigDecimal class in Java 1.1 and Java 1.2.
 * <p>
 * For monadic operators, only the optional <code>MathContext</code> parameter is present; the operation acts upon the
 * current object.
 * <p>
 * For dyadic operators, a <code>BigDecimal</code> parameter is always present; it must not be <code>null</code>. The
 * operation acts with the current object being the left-hand operand and the <code>BigDecimal</code> parameter being
 * the right-hand operand.
 * <p>
 * For example, adding two <code>BigDecimal</code> objects referred to by the names <code>award</code> and
 * <code>extra</code> could be written as any of:
 * <p>
 * <code>
 *     award.add(extra)
 * <br>award.add(extra, MathContext.DEFAULT)
 * <br>award.add(extra, acontext)
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * (where <code>acontext</code> is a <code>MathContext</code> object), which would return a <code>BigDecimal</code>
 * object whose value is the result of adding <code>award</code> and <code>extra</code> under the appropriate context
 * settings.
 * <p>
 * When a <code>BigDecimal</code> operator method is used, a set of rules define what the result will be (and, by
 * implication, how the result would be represented as a character string). These rules are defined in the BigDecimal
 * arithmetic documentation (see the URL above), but in summary:
 * <ul>
 * <li>Results are normally calculated with up to some maximum number of significant digits. For example, if the
 * <code>MathContext</code> parameter for an operation were <code>MathContext.DEFAULT</code> then the result would be
 * rounded to 9 digits; the division of 2 by 3 would then result in 0.666666667. <br>
 * You can change the default of 9 significant digits by providing the method with a suitable <code>MathContext</code>
 * object. This lets you calculate using as many digits as you need -- thousands, if necessary. Fixed point (scaled)
 * arithmetic is indicated by using a <code>digits</code> setting of 0 (or omitting the <code>MathContext</code>
 * parameter). <br>
 * Similarly, you can change the algorithm used for rounding from the default "classic" algorithm.
 * <li>
 * In standard arithmetic (that is, when the <code>form</code> setting is not <code>PLAIN</code>), a zero result is
 * always expressed as the single digit <code>'0'</code> (that is, with no sign, decimal point, or exponent part).
 * <li>
 * Except for the division and power operators in standard arithmetic, trailing zeros are preserved (this is in contrast
 * to binary floating point operations and most electronic calculators, which lose the information about trailing zeros
 * in the fractional part of results). <br>
 * So, for example:
 * <p>
 * <code>
 *     new BigDecimal("2.40").add(     new BigDecimal("2"))      =&gt; "4.40"
 * <br>new BigDecimal("2.40").subtract(new BigDecimal("2"))      =&gt; "0.40"
 * <br>new BigDecimal("2.40").multiply(new BigDecimal("2"))      =&gt; "4.80"
 * <br>new BigDecimal("2.40").divide(  new BigDecimal("2"), def) =&gt; "1.2"
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * where the value on the right of the <code>=&gt;</code> would be the result of the operation, expressed as a
 * <code>String</code>, and <code>def</code> (in this and following examples) refers to <code>MathContext.DEFAULT</code>
 * ). This preservation of trailing zeros is desirable for most calculations (including financial calculations). If
 * necessary, trailing zeros may be easily removed using division by 1.
 * <li>
 * In standard arithmetic, exponential form is used for a result depending on its value and the current setting of
 * <code>digits</code> (the default is 9 digits). If the number of places needed before the decimal point exceeds the
 * <code>digits</code> setting, or the absolute value of the number is less than <code>0.000001</code>, then the number
 * will be expressed in exponential notation; thus
 * <p>
 * <code>
 *   new BigDecimal("1e+6").multiply(new BigDecimal("1e+6"), def)
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * results in <code>1E+12</code> instead of <code>1000000000000</code>, and
 * <p>
 * <code>
 *   new BigDecimal("1").divide(new BigDecimal("3E+10"), def)
 * </code>
 * <p>
 * results in <code>3.33333333E-11</code> instead of <code>0.0000000000333333333</code>.
 * <p>
 * The form of the exponential notation (scientific or engineering) is determined by the <code>form</code> setting.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * The names of methods in this class follow the conventions established by <code>java.lang.Number</code>,
 * <code>java.math.BigInteger</code>, and <code>java.math.BigDecimal</code> in Java 1.1 and Java 1.2.

     * Constructs a <code>BigDecimal</code> from the parameter, which must not be <code>null</code> and must represent a
     * valid <i>number</i>, as described formally in the documentation referred to {@link BigDecimal above}.
     * <p>
     * In summary, numbers in <code>String</code> form must have at least one digit, may have a leading sign, may have a
     * decimal point, and exponential notation may be used. They follow conventional syntax, and may not contain blanks.
     * <p>
     * Some valid strings from which a <code>BigDecimal</code> might be constructed are:
     * 
     * <pre>
     * 
     * "0" -- Zero "12" -- A whole number "-76" -- A signed whole number "12.70" -- Some decimal places "+0.003" -- Plus
     * sign is allowed "17." -- The same as 17 ".5" -- The same as 0.5 "4E+9" -- Exponential notation "0.73e-7" --
     * Exponential notation
     * 
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * (Exponential notation means that the number includes an optional sign and a power of ten following an
     * '<code>E</code>' that indicates how the decimal point will be shifted. Thus the <code>"4E+9"</code> above is
     * just a short way of writing <code>4000000000</code>, and the <code>"0.73e-7"</code> is short for <code>
     * 0.000000073</code>.)
     * <p>
     * The <code>BigDecimal</code> constructed from the String is in a standard form, with no blanks, as though the
     * {@link #add(BigDecimal)} method had been used to add zero to the number with unlimited precision. If the string
     * uses exponential notation (that is, includes an <code>e</code> or an <code>E</code>), then the <code>BigDecimal
     * </code> number will be expressed in scientific notation (where the power of ten is adjusted so there is a single
     * non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point); in this case if the number is zero then it will be expressed as
     * the single digit 0, and if non-zero it will have an exponent unless that exponent would be 0. The exponent must
     * fit in nine digits both before and after it is expressed in scientific notation.
     * <p>
     * Any digits in the parameter must be decimal; that is, <code>Character.digit(c, 10)</code> (where <code>c</code>
     * is the character in question) would not return -1.
     * 
     * @param string The <code>String</code> to be converted.

     * The first two parameters (<code>before</code> and <code>after</code>) specify the number of characters to be used

     * either of these is -1 (which indicates the default action), the number of characters used will be exactly as many

     * The remaining parameters control the use of exponential notation and rounding. Three (<code>explaces</code>,
     * <code>exdigits</code>, and <code>exform</code>) control the exponent part of the result. As before, the default
     * action for any of these parameters may be selected by using the value -1.
     * <p>
     * <code>explaces</code> must be a positive number; it sets the number of places (digits after the sign of the
     * exponent) to be used for any exponent part, the default (when <code>explaces</code> is -1) being to use as many
     * as are needed. If <code>explaces</code> is not -1, space is always reserved for an exponent; if one is not needed
     * (for example, if the exponent will be 0) then <code>explaces</code>+2 blanks are appended to the result.
     * (This preserves vertical alignment of similarly formatted numbers in a monospace font.) If <code>explaces
     * </code> is not -1 and is not large enough to contain the exponent, an exception is thrown.
     * <p>
     * <code>exdigits</code> sets the trigger point for use of exponential notation. If, before any rounding, the number
     * of places needed before the decimal point exceeds <code>exdigits</code>, or if the absolute value of the result
     * is less than <code>0.000001</code>, then exponential form will be used, provided that <code>exdigits</code> was
     * specified. When <code>exdigits</code> is -1, exponential notation will never be used. If 0 is specified for
     * <code>exdigits</code>, exponential notation is always used unless the exponent would be 0.
     * <p>
     * <code>exform</code> sets the form for exponential notation (if needed). It may be either
     * {@link MathContext#SCIENTIFIC} or {@link MathContext#ENGINEERING}. If the latter, engineering, form is requested,
     * up to three digits (plus sign, if negative) may be needed for the integer part of the result (<code>before</code>
     * ). Otherwise, only one digit (plus sign, if negative) is needed.
     * <p>
     * Finally, the sixth argument, <code>exround</code>, selects the rounding algorithm to be used, and must be one of
     * the values indicated by a public constant in the {@link MathContext} class whose name starts with <code>ROUND_
     * </code>. The default (<code>ROUND_HALF_UP</code>) may also be selected by using the value -1, as before.
     * <p>
     * The special value <code>MathContext.ROUND_UNNECESSARY</code> may be used to detect whether non-zero digits are
     * discarded -- if <code>exround</code> has this value than if non-zero digits would be discarded (rounded) during
     * formatting then an <code>ArithmeticException</code> is thrown.
     * 
     * @param before The <code>int</code> specifying the number of places before the decimal point. Use -1 for 'as many as
     *            are needed'.
     * @param after The <code>int</code> specifying the number of places after the decimal point. Use -1 for 'as many as
     *            are needed'.
     * @param explaces The <code>int</code> specifying the number of places to be used for any exponent. Use -1 for 'as many
     *            as are needed'.
     * @param exdigits The <code>int</code> specifying the trigger (digits before the decimal point) which if exceeded causes
     *            exponential notation to be used. Use 0 to force exponential notation. Use -1 to force plain notation
     *            (no exponential notation).
     * @param exformint The <code>int</code> specifying the form of exponential notation to be used (
     *            {@link MathContext#SCIENTIFIC} or {@link MathContext#ENGINEERING}).
