Hi,
Thank You all for the help that you give.
I have a variable that I will call OccourancePerLine.
This value is calculated as a double.
1 / How can I truncate it to a integer?
ie OccourancePerLine = 5.6
I want IntOccourancePerLine = 5
2 / How can I get the value rounded to an Integer?
ie OccourancePerLine = 5.6
I want IntOccourancePerLine = 6

Hi, Ione.
To truncate, simply do a cast:

To round, use the java.lang.Math class:

Here, you need to cast because if you input a double to Math.round(), the result is a long, and to fit it into an int, you have to downcast.

OccurancePerLine sounds familiar... you can also calculate the value as an int from the start:
int occurancePerLine = someString.length % lineLength;
that will give you the whole number integer value that relates to how many times the "string" will fit on the line.

Hi Folks,
Just thought that you all could alternatively use
the <code> Math.ceil(5.6) </code> to covert the double to int.
