round up to 2 decimal places in java? [duplicate]

Answer 1

I know this is 2 year old question but as every body faces a problem to round off the values at some point of time.I would like to share a different way which can give us rounded values to any scale by using BigDecimal class .Here we can avoid extra steps which are required to get the final value if we use DecimalFormat("0.00") or using Math.round(a * 100) / 100 .

import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class RoundingNumbers {
    public static void main(String args[]){
        double number = 123.13698;
        int decimalsToConsider = 2;
        BigDecimal bigDecimal = new BigDecimal(number);
        BigDecimal roundedWithScale = bigDecimal.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
        System.out.println("Rounded value with setting scale = "+roundedWithScale);

        bigDecimal = new BigDecimal(number);
        BigDecimal roundedValueWithDivideLogic = bigDecimal.divide(BigDecimal.ONE,decimalsToConsider,BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);
        System.out.println("Rounded value with Dividing by one = "+roundedValueWithDivideLogic);

    }
}

This program would give us below output

Rounded value with setting scale = 123.14
Rounded value with Dividing by one = 123.14
