In Polish regional setting decimal separator is ,. In english it is .. Maybe in other languages there are other separators. (Are there?).
I want to use BigDecimal‘s String constructor while reading an input file.
In my file I want to use . as a decimal separator.
How can I ensure that I don’t get NumberFormatException if a decimal separator of environment is not .?
The
BigDecimalconstructor – likeDouble.parseDoubleetc – always uses ‘.’ as a decimal separator. It doesn’t use the current culture at all, nor is there any way to specify a number format.(It would be nice if this were clearly documented, admittedly…)
