❮ Math Methods

System.out.println(Math.rint(1.5));

System.out.println(Math.rint(5.1));
System.out.println(Math.rint(-5.1));
System.out.println(Math.rint(-5.9));

Definition and Usage

The rint() method rounds a number to the nearest integer. If there are two integers that are equally close to the number then the even integer will be returned.

Note: This method is very similar to round(). The main differences between rint() and round() are:

• round() returns long or int data types while rint() returns a double.
• When the decimal part of the number is exactly 0.5, rint() returns the nearest even integer while round() returns the highest of the two nearest integers

Syntax

public static double rint(double number)
