Hi!
Other than decreased performance and not using literals and operators directly, are there any other disadvantages to using BigInt and BigDecimal (in particular in Java)?
Thanks.

They do the job but they are clunkier to use and use significantly more memory and processing power than the primitive data types. Use them if you need them, but don’t use them when a primitive would do the job just as well.
