Syntax

BigDecimal.remainder(BigDecimal divisor, MathContext mc) has the following syntax.

public BigDecimal remainder(BigDecimal divisor,   MathContext mc)

Example

In the following code shows how to use BigDecimal.remainder(BigDecimal divisor, MathContext mc) method.

// w w  w .  j a  v  a  2  s  .  co m
import java.math.BigDecimal;
import java.math.MathContext;

public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    MathContext mc = new MathContext(2); // 2 precision

    BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal("-144.144");
    BigDecimal bg2 = new BigDecimal("16.12");

    // bg2 divided by bg1 using mc gives bg3 as remainder
    BigDecimal bg3 = bg1.remainder(bg2, mc);

    String str = "The remainder is " + bg3;

    System.out.println(str);
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
