My rounding function. Need constructive criticism please.

I love you Yoni

The opposite of the floor function is called the ceiling function. The function iago forgot the name of is probably something like Math.ceil.

I was looking for the one half way between floor and ceiling, actually.  Like, maybe chest level.  "round"

[Joe[x86]]

(Math.floor(i) + Math.ceil(i)) / 2

Chest level.

[iago]

(Math.floor(i) + Math.ceil(i)) / 2

Chest level.

If you're planning to use that as an integer, then it will return the same result as Math.floor(i);

[Joe[x86]]

Oh, that's true..

Code Select Expand

public static double chestLevel(double d) {
  // Double D, haha. I didn't realize that it had such an ambiguous meaning until I typed it. It's staying!
  return (Math.floor(i) + Math.ceil(i)) / 2;
}

And is Ceiling really a math function, or was Yoni just being humorus? This may sound kinda stupid, but I found that pretty funny. Of course, I found "Fibonacci" to be funny too.

EDIT -
I spent too much time with VB today (an hour, class time). I forgot my semicolon! Pheer.

yes, ceil is a real function, and yes, it's the opposite of floor.  It's around in most real languages that I'm aware of.

Not just programming languages; it's a common notation in mathematics as well.

A short list of things that aren't funny:
1. "ceiling function"
2. "Fibonacci" (listen man, that's a mathematician's last name. Do I say "Joe" is funny?)
3. "double d"

[iago]

3. "double d"

I'm going to have to disagree with you there..

[Yoni]

shhh iago. I'm trying to own Joe.

[Warrior]

LOL.

Me too.  lol.

No, but a bunch of people say that LaFrance is funny. =/.

Looking!

HAHAHAHA!!
