This results in a decimal number that is represented both
internally, and as a string, as
22
instead of the desired
22.00
Because of the functionality I am trying to achieve, I need to know
the difference between 22 and 22.00, but I can't figure out how to
get NSDecimalNumber to retain the trailing zeros. Does anyone have
advice?
You shouldn't make statements about the internal workings of API
classes that you really don't understand. Specifically the statements
about "internal representation" and "truncating" are false. That being
said, if you want to compare the string representations of two
numbers, then ensure that they are formatted similarly. Hence, use an
NSNumberFormatter, preferably the same for both numbers.
