Packages that use MathContext
java.math Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic (BigInteger) and arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic (BigDecimal). 
 

Uses of MathContext in java.math
 

Fields in java.math declared as MathContext
static MathContext MathContext.DECIMAL128
          A MathContext object with a precision setting matching the IEEE 754R Decimal128 format, 34 digits, and a rounding mode of HALF_EVEN, the IEEE 754R default.
static MathContext MathContext.DECIMAL32
          A MathContext object with a precision setting matching the IEEE 754R Decimal32 format, 7 digits, and a rounding mode of HALF_EVEN, the IEEE 754R default.
static MathContext MathContext.DECIMAL64
          A MathContext object with a precision setting matching the IEEE 754R Decimal64 format, 16 digits, and a rounding mode of HALF_EVEN, the IEEE 754R default.
static MathContext MathContext.UNLIMITED
          A MathContext object whose settings have the values required for unlimited precision arithmetic.
 

Methods in java.math with parameters of type MathContext

Constructors in java.math with parameters of type MathContext
BigDecimal(BigInteger unscaledVal, int scale, MathContext mc)
          Translates a BigInteger unscaled value and an int scale into a BigDecimal, with rounding according to the context settings.
BigDecimal(BigInteger val, MathContext mc)
          Translates a BigInteger into a BigDecimal rounding according to the context settings.
BigDecimal(char[] in, int offset, int len, MathContext mc)
          Translates a character array representation of a BigDecimal into a BigDecimal, accepting the same sequence of characters as the BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String) constructor, while allowing a sub-array to be specified and with rounding according to the context settings.
BigDecimal(char[] in, MathContext mc)
          Translates a character array representation of a BigDecimal into a BigDecimal, accepting the same sequence of characters as the BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String) constructor and with rounding according to the context settings.
