Immutable objects which encapsulate the context settings which describe certain rules for numerical operators, such as those implemented by the BigDecimal class. 
The base-independent settings are:

    

  1. precision: the number of digits to be used for an operation; results are rounded to this precision 
  2. roundingMode: a RoundingMode object which specifies the algorithm to be used for rounding.
