Convert double to Int, rounded down

Question

How to convert a double value to int doing the following:

Double If x = 4.97542. Convert to int x = 4.

Double If x = 4.23544. Convert to int x = 4.

That is, the answer is always rounding down.

If you explicitly cast double to int, the decimal part will be truncated. For example:

int x = (int) 4.97542;   //gives 4 only
int x = (int) 4.23544;   //gives 4 only

Moreover, you may also use Math.floor() method to round values in case you want double value in return.

What does it mean to "loose decimal values"? Does it give the same numbers as calling `Math.floor()`? – Samuel Edwin Ward Dec 27 '15 at 00:17

Casting only rounds down for positive values, you **have** to floor first if your values can be negative. – Kroppeb Jul 30 '23 at 22:43

If the double is a Double with capital D (a boxed primitive value):

Double d = 4.97542;
int i = (int) d.doubleValue();

// or directly:
int i2 = d.intValue();

If the double is already a primitive double, then you simply cast it:

double d = 4.97542;
int i = (int) d;

a double is a primitive float point value. A Double is a Java Object. – penguin Nov 03 '15 at 21:23

This only works for positive values – Kroppeb Jul 30 '23 at 22:44

double myDouble = 420.5;
//Type cast double to int
int i = (int)myDouble;
System.out.println(i);

The double value is 420.5 and the application prints out the integer value of 420

Another option either using Double or double is use Double.valueOf(double d).intValue();. Simple and clean

I think I had a better output, especially for a double datatype sorting.

Though this question has been marked answered, perhaps this will help someone else;

Arrays.sort(newTag, new Comparator<String[]>() {
         @Override
         public int compare(final String[] entry1, final String[] entry2) {
              final Integer time1 = (int)Integer.valueOf((int) Double.parseDouble(entry1[2]));
              final Integer time2 = (int)Integer.valueOf((int) Double.parseDouble(entry2[2]));
              return time1.compareTo(time2);
         }
    });
