Last Updated :
29 Jan, 2019
This method is used to add two specified decimal values.
Syntax: public static decimal Add (decimal a1, decimal a2);
Parameters:
a1: This parameter specifies the first value to add.
a2: This parameter specifies the second value to add.
Return Value: Decimal sum of a1 & a2.
Exceptions: This method will give
OverflowException if the sum of a1 and a2 is less than
smallest possible value of Decimal or
greater than the largest possible value of Decimal.
Below programs illustrate the use of
Decimal.Add(Decimal, Decimal) Method
Example 1:
csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Add(Decimal, Decimal)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal
// variables
Decimal a1 = .01m;
Decimal a2 = .03m;
// adding the two Decimal value
// using Add() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Add(a1, a2);
// Display the sum
Console.WriteLine("Decimal Sum : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Decimal Sum : 0.04
Example 2: For
OverflowException
csharp
// C# program to demonstrate the
// Decimal.Add(Decimal, Decimal)
// Method
using System;
using System.Globalization;
class GFG {
// Main Method
public static void Main()
{
try {
// Declaring the decimal variables
Decimal a1 = 1.01m;
Decimal a2 = Decimal.MaxValue;
// adding the two Decimal value
// using Add() method;
Decimal value = Decimal.Add(a1, a2);
// Display the sum
Console.WriteLine("Decimal Sum : {0}",
value);
}
catch (OverflowException e)
{
Console.Write("Exception Thrown: ");
Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
}
}
}
Output:
Exception Thrown: System.OverflowException
