Rounding a decimal number up

I have a field where the final answer comes up as a decimal and the client wants the final answer for the employee to see to be a whole number, but he wants it rounded up, no matter what the decimal answer is. Is there a way to do that?

The script could be something like:
// Custom calculation script
(function () {
    // Get the field values, as numbers
    var v1 = +getField("Average of scores").value;
    var v2 = +getField("Text 4").value;
    // Perform the calculation, round up to nearest integer, and set this field value
    event.value = Math.ceil(v1 * v2);
For more information on the Math.ceil method, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/ceil

Round decimal number to two places

trying to round a decimal number to two places i.e. 1.98999 should round to 1.99.
-tried using math.round but it only rounds to nearest integer
-tried using decimalformat class but that converts to string, and cast wont allow me to convert from string back to double
*is there a round method that allows you to specify decimal places?
*or is there an easy method to cast a string back to a double?
any advice is appreciated:)

-tried using math.round but it only rounds to nearest integerI advise against rounding in most newbie situations. Usually it's the display of the variable you want to change.
-tried using decimalformat class but that converts to string, and cast wont allow me to convert from string back to doubleOf course cast won't allow you to convert back. If you wanted to do that you'd use Double.parseDouble(stringVar); But we don't know why you are doing all this converting in the first place.
*is there a round method that allows you to specify decimal places?
*or is there an easy method to cast a string back to a double?Advice: Forgetting all this fooha with rounding, what in essence are you trying to achieve? Why all of this number manipulation in the first place? It will affect what should be the best answer.

Rounding off 2 decimal number

Hi,
How can i round up float number to two decimal number.
For example
Number is 45.987654532 then It should be rounded up to 45.98
Number is 45.987654546 then It should be rounded up to 45.99Appriciated sample souuce (If any)
Tanks in advance

You could have a look at String's format() method. The format strings are
described in detail here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Formatter.htmlpublic class Round {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double number = 45.987654546;
        String roundStr = String.format("%.2f", number);
            // Rounded is 45.99
        System.out.println("Rounded is " + roundStr);
            // The same thing
        System.out.printf("Rounded is %.2f%n", number);
}Note: these methods generate rounded Strings from floating
point numbers. Also, they round to a string representing the "nearest"
number - your first example is a little hard to understand in this regard.

Rounding a decimal value to 3 digits

I have opened a UDF and copied the value of Total (LC) column in that field. I want to round off the copied value to 2 digits.
Below is the query written to copy the value.
SELECT ($[$38.21.NUMBER] * $[$38.U_GST.1.11]) / 100
Below is the query written to ROUND the value.
SELECT ROUND(($[$38.21.NUMBER] * $[$38.U_GST.1.11]) / 100, 2)
Thanks & Regards,

Try: SELECT ROUND(($[$38.21.NUMBER\] * $[$38.U_GST.NUMBER\]) / 100, 3)
However, I think it is probably not working because B1 has internal checking to make sure the decimal value follow your setting. If you setup your currency by 2 decimals, you may never get any additional decimal place.
Thanks,
Gordon

Question about rounding a decimal

Hi, I've got a requirement that says that if I've got a decimal number, say,
16.15446
I should display it as 16.16
The values I'm provided with will always have 5 decimal places.
If I'm provided with 16.15552, I should display it as 16.16 too.
obviously I tried:
select round(16.15446,2) as test_value from dual
TEST_VALUE
     16.15
1 row selected.But obviously it's not what I expected.
Any suggestions?

Actually, that's probably the "correct" answer.
0.15446 is closer to 1.5 than it is to 1.6, so rounding down to 1.5 is the 'right' thing to so.
But if your rounding rules are different, something like this might do:
select case when mod(substr(16.15667,5,1),2)=1 then round(16.15667,2) else round(16.15667-0.01,2) end from dual;You obviously need to substitute in appropriate values all the way through that, but if you plug in 16.15552, you get:
SQL> select case when mod(substr(16.15552,5,1),2)=1 then round(16.15552,2) else round(16.15552-0.01,2) end from dual;
CASEWHENMOD(SUBSTR(16.15552,5,1),2)=1THENROUND(16.15552,2)ELSEROUND(16.15552-0.0
                                                                           16.16And for your original number:
SQL> select case when mod(substr(16.15552,5,1),2)=1 then round(16.15552,2) else round(16.15552-0.01,2) end from dual;
CASEWHENMOD(SUBSTR(16.15446,5,1),2)=1THENROUND(16.15552,2)ELSEROUND(16.15446-0.0
                                                                           16.16

ex:decimal number could be any type 1,1.2,-1,-1.2 etc
i found an API Base64.java but iam not able to use .
Please Help me out.

try this
Typecast your array of integers to Byte[] and use method byteArrayToBase64() as:

I can't use a decimal number in a update routine

Hi,
I want to use a decimal number in a udate routine (in a updating rule). I've a code similar to this:
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZSATIAUX1 LT 1,5.
RESULT = 'GOOD'.
And when I save the routine I get the following error:
E:Comma without preceding colon (after IF ?).
The COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZSATIAUX1 field is numeric field with three decimal positions.
Can anybody tell me why I can't use decimals in my routine?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
Try following code:
Data: Val type COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZSATIAUX1 .
val = 1.5.
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZSATIAUX1 LT val.
RESULT = 'GOOD'.
endif.

Comma or point in decimal number

Hi,
I wonder how to handle decimal number input from jsp page with comma or point. Is there a way to take care of this automatic so a comma get parsed to a point or vice versa.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it will be a comma or a dot that is inputed. My keyboard uses a comma on the numeric pad but if i change it to a US keyboard it will use dot instead so I can't tell what a user will input. And if I understand everything when java calculates a double it has to be with a dot, or am I completly wrong.
So with this in mind i decided to replace all dots with a comma and then parse it to a double with NumberFormat and do my calculation and then format it with NumberFormat again. This works fine and gives me a nice output if no one tries to input more than one point or comma.
I can't think of another way to do it so if this is completly wrong so please point me in the right direction.

How to convert fractional decimal number to hex number?

Hi,
Can any one help me to convert the fractional decimal number to its equivalent hex number and vice versa ?

This question is not clear at all.
"Fractional decimal" is not a data type, but a way of formatting in readable form using numeric characters and a decimal separator.
Same to "hex number", but only for integers.
What do you mean by "convert"? Do you want to keep the value the same or retain the bit pattern of the numeric data type?
Hexadecimal is for integers. Are you talking about fixed point?
We clearly need significantly more information. What are the input and output data types? What are you actually trying to do?
Do you have an example input and corresponding output?

Round up float number

Hi,
I have to manage floats with euro format .
here's the code :
<CODE>
float first = 78.31;
float second = 1.81;
float tot = first + second;
</CODE>
the result of thi addition is tot = 80.11999......
sigh!!
how can i round up this number with 2 digits of precision ?
(tot = 80.12)
thx

You don't. But you can format it rounded. (i.e., the stuff in the java.text package, like DecimalFormat).
Or you can represent the value using ints. (E.g., create a Euro class and have two ints, one for the whole euro value and one for the fractional euro value.
Or you can use java.math.BigDecimal.
This issue keeps coming up. Check the forum for a recent thread about fractions.

Is it a float or a double?
For a float, the decimal should be 4 bytes (small numbers like 1.1 start with the byte 0x40). Convert these 4 bytes to an int, using byte-shifting would probably be easiest.
int value = ((b3 << 24) + (b2 << 16) + (b1 << 8) + b0);//b# are bytesNow to convert it to a float, use
Float.intBitsToFloat(value);Now if you want double percision, You will have 8 bytes instead of 4, and need to be converted to a long instead of an int through byte-shifting. Then use Double.longBitsToDouble(long bits) to get the double
