Champ!

...So, for the sake of
completeness, here's the correct code.

OK.. let's give it a test run..
(whispers after fising a couple of long, wrapped lines)

import java.io.BufferedReader;

21.00035
The result (decimal format adjusted) is: 21.000350
420
The result (decimal format adjusted) is: 420.000000
4e6
The result (MathContext adjusted) is: 4.000000E+11
7.2555555555555555
The result (decimal format adjusted) is: 7.255556
6*10^7
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string:
"6*10^7"
at sun.misc.FloatingDecimal.readJavaFormatString(FloatingDecimal.java:1224)

LOL! OK - I suppose that last one was expecting

Glad you sorted it.
