    Question take a double, then round decimal to either to .0 or .5 only

    Hi,

    I have formated a double like this 9.255 will display 9.3

    public double rdTwoDecimal(double d)
    {
    DecimalFormat twoD = new DecimalFormat("#.0");
    return Double.valueOf(twoD.format(d));
    }

    What I now need to do is the decimal can only be .0 or .5 >>>> so 9.3 would be 9.5 when rounded.

    I need to figure out how to get the 3, so I can check if it is 3,4,6,7 then display 5 maybe?

    Thank you for your help!

    9.3 would be 9.5 when rounded.
    Do you want to split on 0.3, or do you also want 0.25 to round up to 0.5? If the latter, you may get the right answer if you double the figure first, then round, then halve.

    I would want .25 to be .5 too

    //lets say some double value = 9.3
    double cutOff = 0.5;
    if(value < (double)((int)(value))+cutOff)) //change this expression to validate your range x.0<=value<x.5 will round down to x.0 
         value = (double)((int)(value));
    else //x.5<=value<(x+1).0 will round down to x.5
         value = (double)((int)(value)) +.5
