go-rounding

Rounding and truncation methods for big.Rat to close some of the gap in functionality between Rat and Decimal (such as Java's BigDecimal).

Documentation on GoDoc: http://godoc.org/github.com/wadey/go-rounding.

Why go-rounding?

There are a few other Decimal implementations for Go:

• dec
• inf

So why does go-rounding exist? big.Rat is a superset of the basic needs for a Decimal representation, the only major thing missing is some nice rounding methods. go-rounding is less than 150 lines of code, so it is easy to review and understand its implementation. If you need more features, you should use one of the above packages.

Benchmark

To run:

go test -v -benchmem -bench .
