Converting BigDecimal to Integer

I have Hibernate method which returns me a BigDecimal. I have another API method to which I need to pass that number but it accepts Integer as parameter. I cannot change return types or variable types of both methods.

Now how to convert the BigDecimal into Integer and pass it to second method?

Is there a way out of this?

Solution

  • You would call myBigDecimal.intValueExact() (or just intValue()) and it will even throw an exception if you would lose information. That returns an int but autoboxing takes care of that.
