To all SCJP aspirants,
Make a note of the RETURN values of floor(),ceil(),and round() methods.
floor() - returns a double value
ceil() - returns a double value
round() - returns int,long value.
So the following code returns

float f = -3.2f;
System.out.println(Math.floor(f));
System.out.println(Math.ceil(f));
System.out.println(Math.round(f));
the values
-3.0
-3.0
-3 // an int.

Hi Chandra,
I found the following results to be:-
-4.0
-3.0
-3
Consider the following:-
ceil(-9.01) gives -9.0
ceil(9.01) gives 10.0
ceil(-0.1) gives -0.0
ceil(0.1) gives 1.0
ceil(-100) gives -100.0
ceil(100) gives 100.0
round(-5.49) gives -5 //goes more positive
round(5.49) gives 5

Sorry for that. I wanted to convey that round() return -3 and not -3.0 (This is a tricky question in the Exam)
Thanks for the Correction,Rich
