brett knoss (Jun 14 2021 at 19:35): brett knoss (Jun 14 2021 at 19:35):I'm working on an accounting program, and would like to know how to create two decimal numbers, instead of arbitrary point decimals.
Kwaku Oskin (Jun 14 2021 at 19:45):There is a package https://github.com/JuliaMath/FixedPointDecimals.jl
But you can just make all calculations in cents (i.e. multiply internally by 100 and store everything in Int)
brett knoss (Jun 14 2021 at 19:53):I was using integers, but then I couldn't do negative numbers. Can I do negative numbers with FixedPointDecimals.jl ?
Kwaku Oskin (Jun 14 2021 at 20:19):How come that you cannot use negative integers?
Kwaku Oskin (Jun 14 2021 at 20:20):What does that mean?
brett knoss (Jun 14 2021 at 21:08):I thought I couldn't but it turns out I made a mistake, and I can create negative integers, so nevermind that.
