How to check if BigDecimal variable == 0 in java?

Question

I have the following code in Java;

BigDecimal price; // assigned elsewhere

if (price.compareTo(new BigDecimal("0.00")) == 0) {

    return true;

}

What is the best way to write the if condition?

Answer 1

Try, signum() can be used:

if (price.signum() == 0) {

    return true;

}
