Constructors in java.math with parameters of type MathContext
Constructor and Description
`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.
`BigDecimal(double val, MathContext mc)` Translates a `double` into a `BigDecimal`, with rounding according to the context settings.
`BigDecimal(int val, MathContext mc)` Translates an `int` into a `BigDecimal`, with rounding according to the context settings.
`BigDecimal(long val, MathContext mc)` Translates a `long` into a `BigDecimal`, with rounding according to the context settings.
`BigDecimal(String val, MathContext mc)` Translates the string representation of a `BigDecimal` into a `BigDecimal`, accepting the same strings as the `BigDecimal.BigDecimal(String)` constructor, with rounding according to the context settings.
