public int compareTo( BigDecimal val )
Description
Returns -1, 0 or 1 as this number is less than, equal to, or greater
than val. Two BigDecimals that are equal in value but have a
different scale (e.g., 2.0, 2.00) are considered equal by this method.
This method is provided in preference to individual methods for each
of the six boolean comparison operators (<, ==, >, >=, !=, <=). The
suggested idiom for performing these comparisons is: (x.compareTo(y)
0), where is one of the six comparison operators.
