Hi people,

There are actually two queries in this post.

a] I have not fully grasped the idea of Math.floor() and Math.ceil() methods. Can someone elaborate what each does, pref. with an example on it's practical usage?

b] I faintly recall a way in which all the methods of the Math class, (including their argument types and return types) being listed using a command. Is the command javap? or is it javadoc? A friend of mine could do this and he showed me how...now i cant recall how he did it. Could you help me out with this? The main reason i want this method is to primarily look at the different packages / classes / methods of the Math.* package (their arguments and return types). Also this will help me look at other packages (java.lang for instance).

Any pointers on the internet to either / both the queries above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Have a nice day,
Kaizer.

ceil round up and floor rounds down.

Math.floor(2.645); // returns 2.0

Math.ceil(2.645); // returns 3.0

Math.round(2.500); // returns 3.0

Math.round(2.499); // returns 2.0

Hi Martyn,
Thanks buddy. you're always there when we need you!

Take care,
Kaiz.

P.S. could you also take a peek at my other post regarding the rounding problem if you have the inclination and the time and let me know what the hassle is with it?:)

THanks,
Kaiz.
