# Decimal

> Exact decimal number, mirroring Rust's `rust_decimal::Decimal`: a 96-bit unsigned integer mantissa, a base-10 scale and a sign. value = (hi << 64 | lo) / 10^scale, negated when `negative` is true Example: lo=12345, hi=0, scale=2, negative=false represents 123.45. Decoding in Rust (with the `rust_decimal` crate): let lo = (d.lo & 0xFFFF_FFFF) as u32; let mid = (d.lo >> 32) as u32; let value = Decimal::from_parts(lo, mid, d.hi, d.negative, d.scale); Decoding in Python (E-notation string: exact regardless of the decimal context's precision, and faster than dividing by 10^scale): from decimal import Decimal mantissa = (d.hi << 64) | d.lo value = Decimal(f"{'-' if d.negative else ''}{mantissa}E-{d.scale}")

**Proto definition**

```protobuf schema.proto theme={null}
message Decimal {
  uint64 lo = 1;
  uint32 hi = 2;
  uint32 scale = 3;
  bool negative = 4;
}
```

## Fields

The number on the right of each row is the protobuf field number.

lo
uint64
1

Low 64 bits of the 96-bit mantissa.

hi
uint32
2

High 32 bits of the 96-bit mantissa.

scale
uint32
3

Number of decimal digits after the point, i.e. the power of ten the mantissa is divided by. At most 28.

negative
bool
4

True when the value is negative.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Decode via an exact decimal type, never a float. In Python the E-notation form is exact regardless of the decimal context's precision, and faster than dividing by `10^scale`:
