XSD Numeric Data Type

Decimal data types are used for numbers.

Decimal data types

Decimal data types are used to specify a number.

Here is an example of a decimal number declaration in a scheme.

<xs:element name="prize" type="xs:decimal"/>

The elements in the document should look something like this:

<prize>999.50</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>+999.5450</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>-999.5230</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>0</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>14</prize>

Note:The maximum number of decimal digits you can specify is 18.

Integer data types are used to specify numeric values without a fractional component.

Here is an example of an integer declaration in a scheme.

<xs:element name="prize" type="xs:integer"/>

The elements in the document should look something like this:

<prize>999</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>+999</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>-999</prize>

Or something like this:

<prize>0</prize>
