The following example shows the usage of math.BigDecimal.add() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.math.*;

public class BigDecimalDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 3 BigDecimal objects
      BigDecimal bg1,bg2,bg3;

      // assign value to bg1 and bg2
      bg1 = new BigDecimal("40.732");
      bg2 = new BigDecimal("30.12");

      // print bg1 and bg2 value
      System.out.println("Object Value is " + bg1);
      System.out.println("Augend value is " + bg2);

      // perform add operation on bg1 with augend bg2
      bg3 = bg1.add(bg2);

      // print bg3 value
      System.out.println("Result is " + bg3);
   }
}
