Hi.<br><br>I&#39;ve just release a package FixedDecimal on SqueakSource.<br><br>A FixedDecimal is similar to a ScaledDecimal, but different in certain select ways.&nbsp; It&#39;s primary purpose was to be able to represent precise decimals for such things as representing money - where ScaledDecimals leave something to be desired.&nbsp; For instance, with ScaledDecimals, you get:
<br>(33.333s withScale:2) + (33.333s withScale:2)&nbsp;&nbsp; print it yields 66.67s <br>but with FixedDecimals, you would get:<br>(33.333 asFixedDecimal: 2) + (33.333 asFixedDecimal: 2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print it yields 66.66.<br>So, FixedDecimals round the numbers to the exact scale you specify - converting a float to a FixedDecimal and back will not necessarily return the starting number, unlike ScaledDecimals.
<br><br>Most simple arithmetic is defined for FixedDecimals, but not all methods that probably should be (it&#39;s getting late and I&#39;m going away for the weekend - thought I&#39;d publish what I have).<br><br>Thanks,
<br>Chris<br>
