Decimal Constructor (Int32, Int32, Int32, Boolean, Byte)

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Initializes a new instance of Decimal from parameters specifying the instance's constituent parts.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub New ( _
    lo As Integer, _

        scale:byte -> Decimal

public function decimal(
    lo : int, 
    mid : int, 
    hi : int, 
    isNegative : boolean, 
    scale : byte
)

Parameters

• lo
  Type: System. . :: . .Int32
  The low 32 bits of a 96-bit integer.

• mid
  Type: System. . :: . .Int32
  The middle 32 bits of a 96-bit integer.

• hi
  Type: System. . :: . .Int32
  The high 32 bits of a 96-bit integer.

• isNegative
  Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
  The sign of the number; 1 is negative, 0 is positive.

• scale
  Type: System. . :: . .Byte
  A power of 10 ranging from 0 to 28.

Remarks

The binary representation of a Decimal number consists of a 1-bit sign, a 96-bit integer number, and a scaling factor used to divide the integer number and specify what portion of it is a decimal fraction. The scaling factor is implicitly the number 10 raised to an exponent ranging from 0 to 28.
