public static void main(String[] args) {
BigDecimal bg1 = new BigDecimal("123.234");
BigDecimal bg2 = new BigDecimal("523");
// assign the result of precision of bg1, bg2 to i1 and i2
int i1 = bg1.precision();
int i2 = bg2.precision();
String str1 = "The precision of " + bg1 + " is " + i1;
String str2 = "The precision of " + bg2 + " is " + i2;
// print the values of i1, i2
System.out.println(str1);
System.out.println(str2);
}
