## Module Overview

The `lang.decimal` module corresponds to the `decimal` basic type.


Returns the IEEE absolute value of a decimal value.



decimal

Rounds a decimal up to the closest integral value.



ceiling

smallest (closest to -∞) decimal value not less than parameter `x` that is a mathematical integer


Rounds a decimal down to the closest integral value.



floor

largest (closest to +∞) decimal value not greater than parameter `x` that is a mathematical integer.


Returns the decimal value represented by a string.

`s` must follow the syntax of DecimalFloatingPointNumber as defined by the Ballerina specification
with the following modifications
- the DecimalFloatingPointLiteral may have a leading `+` or `-` sign
- a FloatingPointTypeSuffix is not allowed
This is the inverse of function `value:toString` applied to an `decimal`.



fromString

string

decimal representation of the argument or error


error

Returns the maximum of one or more decimal values.



maximum value of parameter `x` and all the parameter `xs`


Returns the minimum of one or more decimal values.



minimum value of parameter `x` and all the parameter `xs`.


Rounds a decimal to the closest integral value.

Returns the decimal value that is a mathematical integer and closest to parameter `x`.
If there are two such values, choose the one that is even
(this is the round-to-nearest rounding mode, which is the default for IEEE
and for Ballerina).
Same as Java Math.rint method
Same as .NET Math.Round method
IEEE 754 roundToIntegralTiesToEven operation
Note that `<int>x` is the same as `<int>x.round()`



round

closest decimal value to parameter `x` that is a mathematical integer


Returns the sum of zero or more decimal values.



sum of all the parameter `xs`; 0 if parameter `xs` is empty
