Hi,

How would you convert a 'BigDecimal' number to a 'BigInteger' ? I cant seem
to be able to do this.

More specifically, lets say I had the BigDecimal 5.0000, and wanted to
convert this to 5 , and then have Java treat that as '5' in BigInteger
form , then how would I do this?

Thanks

BigDecimal myBigDecimal = new BigDecimal(5.0d);
BigInteger myBigInteger = myBigDecimal.toBigInteger();

if there is not a more direct way, export and import a string.
