Method: BigDecimal#precs

Defined in:
bigdecimal.c

#precs ⇒ Array

This method is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Instead, use BigDecimal#n_significant_digits for obtaining the number of significant digits in scientific notation, and BigDecimal#precision for obtaining the number of digits in decimal notation.

BigDecimal('5').precs #=> [9, 18]
