round up float?

[atakado]

hi everyone.

I have searched the forum for an answer but couldn't find any.

Is there a simple way to round up float so instead of getting 3,49875985 as a result I would get 3,5? or is there any other way to round up numbers like that without the float?

thanks in advance.

    float num = 2.954165f;
    float round = Round(num,2);
    System.out.println("Rounded data: " + round);
  }

  public static float Round(float Rval, int Rpl) {
  float p = (float)Math.pow(10,Rpl);
  Rval = Rval * p;
  float tmp = Math.round(Rval);
  return (float)tmp/p;
    }
}

thanks for your help

I got another question though :P.

is it possible to convert float to int?

All primitive types are interchangeable. you just need to cast

float f = (float)your_int;

but it does it without rounding.

the loss of precision is normal, and you should make note of it since int's are only whole numbers.
