Class CurrencyAmount

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FxConvertible<CurrencyAmount>, Serializable, Comparable<CurrencyAmount>

    public final class CurrencyAmount
    extends Object
    implements FxConvertible<CurrencyAmount>, Comparable<CurrencyAmount>, Serializable
    An amount of a currency.

    This class represents a double amount associated with a currency. It is specifically named "CurrencyAmount" and not "Money" to indicate that it simply holds a currency and an amount. By contrast, naming it "Money" would imply it was a suitable choice for accounting purposes, which it is not. This design approach has been chosen primarily for performance reasons. Using a BigDecimal is markedly slower. See the Money class for the alternative that uses BigDecimal.

    A double is a 64 bit floating point value suitable for most calculations. Floating point maths is inexact due to the conflict between binary and decimal arithmetic. As such, there is the potential for data loss at the margins. For example, adding the double values 0.1d and 0.2d results in 0.30000000000000004 rather than 0.3. As can be seen, the level of error is small, hence providing this class is used appropriately, the use of double is acceptable. For example, using this class to provide a meaningful result type after calculations have completed would be an appropriate use.

    This class is immutable and thread-safe.
