Question on avoiding exponential format in numbers

roopeshr over 8 years ago

I have a requirement where I have to perform different type of validations (onscreen) based on calculations that involves 10 digits up to 2 decimal places (ex: 8542137887.12). when I am trying to achieve same using decimal data type it is getting converted into Exponential format. can any one suggest me some workaround?

Note: calculations involve multiplication, division addition and subtraction.

As I said before. This is just a matter of how the number is turned into a string when shown to the user. Mathematically they are equal. But as you see in your 3rd result. You cannot save infinity values.
