Hi there this operation give me undesired response , how i can get desired response from it ?

For example when a and second is equal :

a=a.subtract(second);

a=0.99999905050206647416680425521917641162872314453125

second=1.0

give me 

a=-9.4949793352583319574478082358837127685546875E-7

but i don't want it and i want numerical value not ...E-7 . How i can solve this ? i tried this method but doesn't solve my problem.

a=a.setScale(15,RoundingMode.HALF_UP);

  • How have you created the instances of `BigDecimal`, using `double` or using a `String` with the proper value? – Luiggi Mendoza Oct 11 '15 at 21:46

Use BigDecimal.toPlainString():

Returns a string representation of this BigDecimal without an exponent field.
