Round Float to Specified Decimals

Write a Java program to round a float number to specified decimals.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.lang.*;
import java.math.BigDecimal;
public class Example4 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
        float x = 451.3256412f;
        BigDecimal result;
		int decimal_place = 4;
		BigDecimal bd_num = new BigDecimal(Float.toString(x));
        bd_num = bd_num.setScale(decimal_place, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP); 
		System.out.printf("Original number: %.7f\n",x);
        System.out.println("Rounded upto 4 decimal: "+bd_num);
  }
}

Sample Output:

Original number: 451.3256531                                           
Rounded upto 4 decimal: 451.3257
