NSDecimalNumber Mac OS X 10.0

This subclass of NSNumber provides an object-oriented wrapper for performing base-10 arithmetic operations. Instances of NSDecimalNumber are created with a string such as "10.2e4" using decimalNumberWithString:, or by specifying the mantissa, exponent, and whether or not it is negative in the method decimalNumberWith-Mantissa:exponent:isNegative:.

Arithmetic operations are performed on two decimal number objects using methods such as decimalNumberByAdding:, decimalNumberByMultiplying:, and so forth. The value of the decimal number can be accessed as a double by sending a doubleValue message to the object.
