import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.MathContext;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    MathContext mc = new MathContext(2);
    MathContext mc1 = new MathContext(4);

    BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal("123.1234");

    // assign absolute value of bg1 to bg2 rounded to 2 precision using mc
    BigDecimal bg2 = bg1.abs(mc);

    // assign absolute value of bg1 to bg3 rounded to 4 precision using mc1
    BigDecimal bg3 = bg1.abs(mc1);

    System.out.println(bg2);
    System.out.println(bg3);
  }
}
