The `nanos` field represents values from `0.999_999_999` to `-0.999_999_999`. For example, the `decimal` value `1.5m` would be represented as `{ units = 1, nanos = 500_000_000 }`. This is why the `nanos` field in this example uses the `sfixed32` type, which encodes more efficiently than `int32` for larger values. If the `units` field is negative, the `nanos` field should also be negative.

> There are multiple other algorithms for encoding `decimal` values as byte strings, but this message is easier to understand than any of them. The values are not affected by big-endian or little-endian on different platforms.

Conversion between this type and the BCL `decimal` type might be implemented in C# like this:
