#to_d(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

cmp.to_d             -> bigdecimal
cmp.to_d(precision)  -> bigdecimal

Returns the value as a BigDecimal.

The precision parameter is required for a rational complex number. This parameter is used to determine the number of significant digits for the result.

require 'bigdecimal'
require 'bigdecimal/util'

Complex(0.1234567, 0).to_d(4)   # => 0.1235e0
Complex(Rational(22, 7), 0).to_d(3)   # => 0.314e1
