Decimal — openapi

Represents a decimal number in a form similar to scientific notation.

Examples:

17 === {significand: 17 exponent: 0} (or just {significand: 17})
-0.005 === {significand: -5 exponent: -3}
33.5 million === {significand: 335 exponent: 5}
11/8 (1.375) === {significand: 1375 exponent: -3}

Note that the range of a Decimal exceeds that of a JSON number (double), as well as that of a decimal64.

Properties

Name	Type	Required	Description
significand	integer	false	The significant digits of the number.
exponent	integer	false	Represents the position of the decimal point within the significand. When the exponent is 0, the value of the Decimal is simply the value of `significand`. When the exponent is greater than 0, represents the number of trailing zeroes after the significant digits. When the exponent is less than 0, represents how many of the significant digits (and implicit leading zeroes, as needed) come after the decmial point.
