BigDecimal round() Method in Java

The java.math.BigDecimal.round(MathContext m) is an inbuilt method in Java that returns a BigDecimal value rounded according to the MathContext settings. If the precision setting is 0 then no rounding takes place.
Syntax:
public BigDecimal round(MathContext m)
Parameters: The method accepts a single parameter m which refers to the context to use that is the value up to which the BigDecimal value is to be rounded off.
Return value: This method returns a BigDecimal rounded according to the MathContext settings.
Below programs illustrate the working of java.math.BigDecimal.round(MathContext m) method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate the// round() methodimport java.math.*; public class Gfg { public static void main(String[] args) { // Assign value to BigDecimal object b1 BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("4.2585"); MathContext m = new MathContext(4); // 4 precision // b1 is rounded using m BigDecimal b2 = b1.round(m); // Print b2 value System.out.println("The value of " + b1 + " after rounding is " + b2); }} |
Output:
The value of 4.2585 after rounding is 4.259
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate the// round() methodimport java.math.*; public class gfg { public static void main(String[] args) { // Assigning value to BigDecimal object b1 BigDecimal b1 = new BigDecimal("-4.2585"); MathContext m = new MathContext(4); // 4 precision // b1 is rounded using m BigDecimal b2 = b1.round(m); // Print b2 value System.out.println("The value of " + b1 + " after rounding is " + b2); }} |
Output:
The value of -4.2585 after rounding is -4.259
