        BigDecimal result;
		int decimal_place = 4;
		BigDecimal bd_num = new BigDecimal(Float.toString(x));
        bd_num = bd_num.setScale(decimal_place, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP); 
		System.out.printf("Original number: %.7f\n",x);
        System.out.println("Rounded upto 4 decimal: "+bd_num);
  }
}
