  1. Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter mc which refers to the context of rounding to use i.e., up to what digit the value would be rounded.
    Return value: This method returns the value of BigDecimal Object, rounded as necessary. A zero result will have a scale of 0.
    Below program illustrates the working of the above mentioned method: 
    Program 1:
