Java abs() Method : Find Absolute Value of Decimal MathContext

Java - Find Absolute Value of Decimal :

Returns a BigDecimal whose value is the absolute value of this BigDecimal, with rounding according to the context settings.

Declaration

public BigDecimal abs(MathContext mc)

1	public BigDecimal abs(MathContext mc)

Parameters

Parameters
mc	the context to use.

Return Value

BigDecimal

This method returns the absolute value of the called value i.e abs(this) rounded as necessary.

Exception

ArithmeticException

if the result is inexact but the rounding mode is UNNECESSARY.

Example

Below is the example for the math.BigDecimal.abs() method.

package com.c4learn.maths;
import java.math.*;
public class BigDecimalExample {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // create object of BigDecimal class
      BigDecimal bd1, bd2;
      // assign value to bg1
      bd1 = new BigDecimal("-100");
      // before calling abs()
      System.out.println("Value is " + bd1);
      // assign absolute value of bd1 to bd2
      bd2 = bd1.abs();
      // print bg2 value
      System.out.println("Absolute value is " + bd2);
   }
}

package com.c4learn.maths;

import java.math.*;

public class BigDecimalExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// create object of BigDecimal class

BigDecimal bd1, bd2;

// assign value to bg1

bd1 = new BigDecimal("-100");

// before calling abs()

System.out.println("Value is " + bd1);

// assign absolute value of bd1 to bd2

bd2 = bd1.abs();

// print bg2 value

System.out.println("Absolute value is " + bd2);

}

Output :

Value is -100
Absolute value is 100

1 2	Value is -100 Absolute value is 100
