Yes ,such declaration is possible .Explaining with example .1.number(9,11) means there are 11 digits after decimal .However as the max precision is 9 so the rest are zero padded .Like 0.009999999992.number(9,-11) means that there are 9 digits whereas the rest is zero padded towards left of the decimal point Like 99999999900000000000.0
