Module java.base
Package java.math
Provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer
 arithmetic (
BigInteger) and arbitrary-precision decimal
 arithmetic (BigDecimal).  BigInteger is analogous
 to the primitive integer types except that it provides arbitrary
 precision, hence operations on BigIntegers do not overflow
 or lose precision.  In addition to standard arithmetic operations,
 BigInteger provides modular arithmetic, GCD calculation,
 primality testing, prime generation, bit manipulation, and a few
 other miscellaneous operations.
 BigDecimal provides arbitrary-precision signed decimal
 numbers suitable for currency calculations and the like.  
 BigDecimal gives the user complete control over rounding behavior,
 allowing the user to choose from a comprehensive set of eight
 rounding modes.- Since:
- 1.1

Class Summary Class Description BigDecimal Immutable, arbitrary-precision signed decimal numbers.BigInteger Immutable arbitrary-precision integers.MathContext Immutable objects which encapsulate the context settings which describe certain rules for numerical operators, such as those implemented by theBigDecimalclass.
- 
Enum Summary Enum Description RoundingMode Specifies a rounding behavior for numerical operations capable of discarding precision.
