# Parsing

The fixed package allows you to parse strings into a Fixed instance:

```dart
Fixed.parse('1.234', scale: 3);  // == 1.234
```

If you don't pass in the scale then Fixed will determine the scale from the no. of decimal places in the string:

```dart
Fixed.parse('1.2345'); // == 1.2345, scale = 4
```
