2. #### final def ##(): Int

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`.

   Equivalent to `x.hashCode` except for boxed numeric types and `null`.

For `null` returns a hashcode where `null.hashCode` throws a `NullPointerException`.

   returns

     a hash value consistent with ==

22. #### final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type `T0`.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.asInstanceOf[String]` will throw a `ClassCastException` at runtime, while the expression `List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]]` will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    returns

      the receiver object.

    Definition Classes
      Any
    Exceptions thrown

      `ClassCastException` if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type `T0`.

23. #### def binary(d: Double): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` by expanding the binary fraction contained by `Double` value `d` into a decimal representation.

24. #### def binary(d: Double, mc: MathContext): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` by expanding the binary fraction contained by `Double` value `d` into a decimal representation, rounding if necessary.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` by expanding the binary fraction contained by `Double` value `d` into a decimal representation, rounding if necessary. When a `Float` is converted to a `Double`, the binary fraction is preserved, so this method also works for converted `Float`s.

25. #### def clone(): AnyRef

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the `clone` method is platform dependent.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` from a `Long`, rounding if necessary. This is identical to `BigDecimal(l, mc)`.

29. #### def decimal(f: Float): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` using the decimal text representation of `Float` value `f`.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` using the decimal text representation of `Float` value `f`. Note that `BigDecimal.decimal(0.1f) != 0.1f` since equality agrees with the `Double` representation, and `0.1 != 0.1f`.

30. #### def decimal(f: Float, mc: MathContext): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` using the decimal text representation of `Float` value `f`, rounding if necessary.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` using the decimal text representation of `Float` value `f`, rounding if necessary. Note that `BigDecimal.decimal(0.1f) != 0.1f` since equality agrees with the `Double` representation, and `0.1 != 0.1f`.

31. #### def decimal(d: Double): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` using the decimal text representation of `Double` value `d`.

32. #### def decimal(d: Double, mc: MathContext): BigDecimal

33. #### val defaultMathContext: MathContext

34. #### implicit def double2bigDecimal(d: Double): BigDecimal

35. #### final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    Tests whether the argument (`arg0`) is a reference to the receiver object (`this`).

    The `eq` method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of `AnyRef`, and has three additional properties:

    - It is consistent: for any non-null instances `x` and `y` of type `AnyRef`, multiple invocations of `x.eq(y)` consistently returns `true` or consistently returns `false`.
    - For any non-null instance `x` of type `AnyRef`, `x.eq(null)` and `null.eq(x)` returns `false`.
    - `null.eq(null)` returns `true`.

    When overriding the `equals` or `hashCode` methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (`o1 eq o2`), they should be equal to each other (`o1 == o2`) and they should hash to the same value (`o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode`).

    returns

      `true` if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; `false` otherwise.

    Definition Classes
      AnyRef

36. #### def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    The equality method for reference types.

    The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to `eq`.

    See also `equals` in scala.Any.

    returns

      `true` if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; `false` otherwise.

40. #### def exact(bi: BigInt): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` that exactly represents a `BigInt`.

41. #### def exact(d: Double): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` by fully expanding the binary fraction contained by `Double` value `d`, adjusting the precision as necessary.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` by fully expanding the binary fraction contained by `Double` value `d`, adjusting the precision as necessary. Note: this works correctly on converted `Float`s also.

42. #### def exact(repr: java.math.BigDecimal): BigDecimal

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` from a `java.math.BigDecimal`.

    Constructs a `BigDecimal` from a `java.math.BigDecimal`. The precision is the default for `BigDecimal` or enough to represent the `java.math.BigDecimal` exactly, whichever is greater.

43. #### def finalize(): Unit

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the `finalize` method is invoked, as well as the interaction between `finalize` and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

47. #### final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is `T0`.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression `1.isInstanceOf[String]` will return `false`, while the expression `List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]]` will return `true`. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.
