Math.round

Hi,

I'm trying to round a double number to an integer, and i'm doing like this

public double getWindSpeed() {
    return (int)Math.round(35.23);
}

Thank you

Hi Marcio

As the data type int doesn't support decimal numbers casting to an int will always results in a whole number. The problem is the method where you have defined it to return a double , if you change this to int you should be fine.

Hope this helps Daniel
