BigDecimal Class round() method

  • round() method is available in java.math package.
  • round() method is used to get a rounded BigDecimal based on the given MathContext setting when the precision value is not equal to 0 otherwise there is no effect of rounding when the precision value is equal to 0.
  • round() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
  • round() method may throw an exception at the time of rounding.
    ArithmeticException: This exception may throw when this BigDecimal need rounding and the mode of rounding is set to "UNNECESSARY".

Syntax:

    public BigDecimal round(MathContext ma_co);

Parameter(s):

  • MathContext ma_co – represents the MathContext to use in rounding BigDecimal.

Return value:

The return type of this method is BigDecimal, it returns the rounded BigDecimal based on the given MathContext.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of BigDecimal round(MathContext ma_co) method of BigDecimal

import java.math.*;

public class RoundOfBD {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Initialize two variables and
        // first is of "short" and second is  
        // of "String" type
        short val1 = 1321;
        String val2 = "100.24";

        // Initialize two BigDecimal objects and
        // one MathContext
        BigDecimal b_dec1 = new BigDecimal(val1);
        BigDecimal b_dec2 = new BigDecimal(val2);
        MathContext ma_co = new MathContext(4, RoundingMode.CEILING);


        // round this BigDecimal b_dec1 according to
        // the given MathContext based on precision
        // and rounding mode
        BigDecimal round = b_dec1.round(ma_co);
        System.out.println("b_dec1.round(ma_co): " + round);

        // round this BigDecimal b_dec1 according to
        // the given MathContext based on precision
        // and rounding mode
        round = b_dec2.round(ma_co);
        System.out.println("b_dec2.round(ma_co): " + round);
    }
}

Output

b_dec1.round(ma_co): 1321
b_dec2.round(ma_co): 100.3
