Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Big Numbers

The video tutorial discusses the limitations of primitive data types in Java, particularly when dealing with large or precise numbers. It introduces the BigInteger and BigDecimal classes from the Java math package, which allow for handling arbitrarily large numbers and precise calculations. The tutorial explains how to instantiate these classes and perform operations using their methods, as traditional operators do not work with these objects.

What is meant by 'arbitrary precision' in the context of BigDecimal?

Describe how mathematical operations are performed on BigInteger and BigDecimal objects.
