    - precision = 2
      value is rounded to the second digit after the decimal point
    - precision = -3

ImmutableDecimal<S> invert(TruncationPolicy truncationPolicy)
```
    Description copied from interface: Decimal
    
    Returns a Decimal whose value is (1 / this). The result is rounded to the scale of this Decimal using the RoundingMode specified by the truncationPolicy argument. The truncationPolicy also defines the OverflowMode to apply if an overflow occurs during the invert operation.
    The returned value is a new instance if this Decimal is an ImmutableDecimal. If it is a MutableDecimal then its internal state is altered and this is returned as result now representing the outcome of the inversion.

```
ImmutableDecimal<S> pow(int n)
```
    Description copied from interface: Decimal
    Returns a Decimal whose value is (thisⁿ) using default HALF_UP rounding.
    The current implementation uses the core algorithm defined in ANSI standard X3.274-1996. For n >= 0, the returned numerical value is within 1 ULP of the exact numerical value. No precision is guaranteed for n < 0 but the result is usually exact up to 10-20 ULP.
    Properties of the X3.274-1996 algorithm are:
    - An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if abs(n) > 999999999
    - if n is zero, one is returned even if this is zero, otherwise
      
      if n is positive, the result is calculated via the repeated squaring technique into a single accumulator
      
      if n is negative, the result is calculated as if n were positive; this value is then divided into one
      
      The final value from either the positive or negative case is then rounded using HALF_UP rounding
    The returned value is a new instance if this Decimal is an ImmutableDecimal. If it is a MutableDecimal then its internal state is altered and this is returned as result now representing the outcome of the shift operation.
    Specified by:
    
    pow in interface Decimal<S extends ScaleMetrics>
    
    Parameters:
    n - power to raise this Decimal to

    Description copied from interface: Decimal
    Returns a Decimal whose value is (thisⁿ) applying the specified roundingMode.
    The current implementation uses the core algorithm defined in ANSI standard X3.274-1996. For n >= 0, the returned numerical value is within 1 ULP of the exact numerical value; the result is actually exact for all rounding modes other than HALF_UP, HALF_EVEN and HALF_DOWN. No precision is guaranteed for n < 0 but the result is usually exact up to 10-20 ULP.
    Properties of the X3.274-1996 algorithm are:
    - An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if abs(n) > 999999999
    - if n is zero, one is returned even if this is zero, otherwise
      
      if n is positive, the result is calculated via the repeated squaring technique into a single accumulator
      
      if n is negative, the result is calculated as if n were positive; this value is then divided into one
      
      The final value from either the positive or negative case is then rounded using the specified roundingMode
    The returned value is a new instance if this Decimal is an ImmutableDecimal. If it is a MutableDecimal then its internal state is altered and this is returned as result now representing the outcome of the shift operation.

```
    Description copied from interface: Decimal
    Returns a Decimal whose value is (thisⁿ) applying the RoundingMode specified by truncationPolicy. The truncationPolicy argument also defines the OverflowMode to apply if an overflow occurs during the power operation.
    The current implementation uses the core algorithm defined in ANSI standard X3.274-1996. For n >= 0, the returned numerical value is within 1 ULP of the exact numerical value; the result is actually exact for all rounding modes other than HALF_UP, HALF_EVEN and HALF_DOWN. No precision is guaranteed for n < 0 but the result is usually exact up to 10-20 ULP.
    Properties of the X3.274-1996 algorithm are:

    - if n is zero, one is returned even if this is zero, otherwise
      
      if n is positive, the result is calculated via the repeated squaring technique into a single accumulator
      
      if n is negative, the result is calculated as if n were positive; this value is then divided into one
      
      The final value from either the positive or negative case is then rounded using the RoundingMode specified by truncationPolicy
    The returned value is a new instance if this Decimal is an ImmutableDecimal. If it is a MutableDecimal then its internal state is altered and this is returned as result now representing the outcome of the shift operation.

ImmutableDecimal<S> avg(Decimal<S> val)
```
    Description copied from interface: Decimal
    
    Returns the average of this Decimal and val. The result is rounded to the scale of this Decimal using default HALF_UP rounding. The method is much more efficient than an addition and subsequent long division and is guaranteed not to overflow.
    The returned value is a new instance if this Decimal is an ImmutableDecimal. If it is a MutableDecimal then its internal state is altered and this is returned as result now representing the outcome of the average operation.
