Parameters
-
doubleValue:
Type: Double
Return Value
Type: Integer
round(decimalValue)
Signature
public static Integer round(Decimal decimalValue)
Parameters
-
decimalValue:
Type: Decimal
Return Value

Usage
Note that this rounding mode statistically minimizes cumulative error when applied repeatedly over a sequence of calculations.
Example
1Decimal d1 = 4.5;
2Integer i1 = Math.round(d1);
3System.assertEquals(4, i1);
4
5Decimal d2 = 5.5;
6Integer i2 = Math.round(d2);
7System.assertEquals(6, i2);roundToLong(decimalValue)
Signature
public static Long roundToLong(Decimal decimalValue)
Parameters
-
decimalValue:
