Arithmetic expressions in Gosu

Using big decimal arithmetic in Gosu

Gosu supports Java big decimal arithmetic on the +, -, *, /, and % arithmetic operators. If the left-hand or right-hand operand of the operator is a Java BigDecimal or BigInteger, the result is BigDecimal or BigInteger also. This coercion is especially important for accuracy, which currency values often require.

Overflow errors

By default, Gosu arithmetic expressions do not check for overflow errors. Optionally you can enable checked arithmetic, which generates Gosu exceptions for overflow errors.
