How to create a BigInt by rounding from a Double in Scala

How can I convert a large double, one that won't fit into the Long data type:

var ex = 10e28 : Double;
ex -= 0.25

to a BigInt? Also making sure to round to the nearest BigInt.

I'm assuming that by "nearest" you mean you want e.g. 10.49 rounded to 10, 10.5 rounded to 11, etc. If so you can write the following:

BigDecimal(ex).setScale(0, BigDecimal.RoundingMode.HALF_UP).toBigInt

See my answer here for more information about the rounding modes.
