There are two methods present for Java round to 2 decimals in the whole context of Java. Here are the methods following:-

Using “DecimalFormat”
Import java.text.DecimalFormat;
Public class CurrencyConverter {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        Double amount = 123.45678; // Replace with your amount
        DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat(“#.##”); // Define the decimal format
        Df.setRoundingMode(RoundingMode.HALF_UP); // Set the rounding mode
        Double roundedAmount = Double.parseDouble(df.format(amount)); // Round the amount
        System.out.println(“Rounded amount: “ + roundedAmount);
    }
}
Using “string.format()”
Public class CurrencyConverter {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        Double amount = 123.45678; // Replace with your amount
        Double roundedAmount = Math.round(amount * 100.0) / 100.0; // Round the amount
        System.out.println(“Rounded amount: “ + roundedAmount);
    }
}

These methods help you round a floating-point to 2 decimal places easily in the context of Java. Thus, it offers accuracy for various input values. You can also adjust the “amount” variable according to your requirements and values.
