## decimal/decimal.proto ### Message Decimal Decimal is a structure used for representation of assets amount | Field | Type | Label | Description | | ----- | ---- | ----- | ----------- | | Value | [int64](#int64) | | Value is value number | | Precision | [uint32](#uint32) | | Precision is precision number | ## Scalar Value Types | .proto Type | Notes | C++ Type | Java Type | Python Type | | ----------- | ----- | -------- | --------- | ----------- | | double | | double | double | float | | float | | float | float | float | | int32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint32 instead. | int32 | int | int | | int64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Inefficient for encoding negative numbers – if your field is likely to have negative values, use sint64 instead. | int64 | long | int/long | | uint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint32 | int | int/long | | uint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. | uint64 | long | int/long | | sint32 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int32s. | int32 | int | int | | sint64 | Uses variable-length encoding. Signed int value. These more efficiently encode negative numbers than regular int64s. | int64 | long | int/long | | fixed32 | Always four bytes. More efficient than uint32 if values are often greater than 2^28. | uint32 | int | int | | fixed64 | Always eight bytes. More efficient than uint64 if values are often greater than 2^56. | uint64 | long | int/long | | sfixed32 | Always four bytes. | int32 | int | int | | sfixed64 | Always eight bytes. | int64 | long | int/long | | bool | | bool | boolean | boolean | | string | A string must always contain UTF-8 encoded or 7-bit ASCII text. | string | String | str/unicode | | bytes | May contain any arbitrary sequence of bytes. | string | ByteString | str |
