The State of Java and Numerics?

[A Z]

Am I accurate in gathering that in terms of using operators with non-floating point

types or classes,  the present state of things is the only option, inside Java?


I can use classes like the Apfloat library, but is there any way to disable floating point arithmetic

with a switch option or something, even in Java 10 now?  Is the present state

of things, using alternative numeric classes and functions libraries,

the only way to get numeric accuracy with the range of an integer

and decimaltype (its minimum and maximum values)?
