BigDecimal is a primitive type that represents arbitrary large floating point numbers in base 10.

A BigDecimal can be constructed by calling the BigDecimal() function or by adding m after the number literal, for example, 100.5m.

typeof of a big decimal value returns "bigdecimal".

BigDecimal supports arithmetic and comparison operators.
