That is typically how you handle it (in my limited understanding). If you're going to make an error, let it be in the presentation layer and not the actual math

- runevault 10y agoI now wonder if that is what c# does under the hood for currency type which is a rather safe way of dealing with a limited number of decimal places for money. Hm.
- oblio 10y agoWarning: I don't program applications for finance. However... I'm not sure that representing things in cents works. Mostly because of exchange rates. These can have quite a bit of decimals and go beyond cent-precision. My money's on BigIntegers: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.numerics.biginteger(v=vs.110).aspx https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.numerics.big..., using some sort of subdivision of cents as the base unit (1/1000ths of cents?) I'm probably horribly wrong and I hope someone who actually knows what he's saying corrects me :)

I was thinking something along these lines too. Would love to know what they used and the justifications behind their decision.
