I'm having a hard time figuring out how to convert this. Here is what I want:

int i = 5900;

BigDecimal bD = new BigDecimal(i);

I need bD to be 59.00 but I can't figure out how to get this result. All I've been able to get is 5900 as type BigDecimal. Any suggestion would help, thanks.

You haven't been very specific about the semantics you want, but it looks like

BigDecimal.valueOf(i).movePointLeft(2)

does what you want.
