using   intValue    on BigDecimal object is not right when you want to check if its grater than zero  The only option left is   compareTo    method

it is safer to use the method compareTo         BigDecimal a   new BigDecimal 10       BigDecimal b   BigDecimal ZERO       System out println   result    gt      a compareTo b      console print      result    gt  1   compareTo   returns        1     if a is greater than b   -1    if b is less than b   0     if a is equal to b      now for your problem you can use  if  value compareTo BigDecimal ZERO   gt  0    or  if  value compareTo new BigDecimal 0    gt  0    I hope it helped you

It s as simple as   if  value compareTo BigDecimal ZERO   gt  0    The documentation for compareTo actually specifies that it will return -1  0 or 1  but the more general Comparable lt T gt  compareTo method only guarantees less than zero  zero  or greater than zero for the appropriate three cases - so I typically just stick to that comparison

BigDecimal obj   new BigDecimal  100     if obj intValue   gt 0      System out println  yes

Possible better way  if  value signum    gt  0   signum returns -1  0  or 1 as the value of this BigDecimal is negative  zero  or positive
