# decimal
Arbitrary-precision fixed-point decimal numbers in go.
NOTE: can "only" represent numbers with a maximum of 2^31 digits after the decmial point.
## Usage
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/jellolabs/decimal"
)
func main() {
price, err := decimal.NewFromString("136.02")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
quantity := decimal.NewFromFloat(3)
fee, _ := decimal.NewFromString(".035")
taxRate, _ := decimal.NewFromString(".08875")
subtotal := price.Mul(quantity)
preTax := subtotal.Mul(fee.Add(decimal.NewFromFloat(1)))
total := preTax.Mul(taxRate.Add(decimal.NewFromFloat(1)))
fmt.Println("Subtotal:", subtotal)
fmt.Println("Pre-tax:", preTax)
fmt.Println("Taxes:", total.Sub(preTax))
fmt.Println("Total:", total)
fmt.Println("Tax rate:", total.Sub(preTax).Div(preTax))
}
```
