Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter newValue of boolean type. If this value is set true, then the parse() method will return a BigDecimal value.

Return Value: This method does not returns any value.

Below programs illustrate the above method:

Program 1:

// Java program to illustrate the
// setParseBigDecimal() method
  
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
  
public class GFG {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create a DecimalFormat instance
        DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat();
        deciFormat.setParseBigDecimal(true);
  
        System.out.println(deciFormat.isParseBigDecimal());
    }
}

Output:

true

Program 2:

// Java program to illustrate the
// setParseBigDecimal() method
  
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
  
public class GFG {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Create a DecimalFormat instance
        DecimalFormat deciFormat = new DecimalFormat();
        deciFormat.setParseBigDecimal(false);
  
        System.out.println(deciFormat.isParseBigDecimal());
    }
}
