How do I round to the nearest ten?

Question

How can I round a number to the nearest ten with no if statements? For example, 98 to 100.

int num = 87;
double t;
double d = 1.0 * num; // d = 87.0
t = d/100;
System.out.println(t);

You can use Math.round(num/10.0) * 10.

if you divide by 10d or 10.0, num can be any (primitive) number. – Peter Walser Oct 03 '16 at 07:08

answer = ((num+5)/10)*10; // if num is int

where num is int and to have more idea, read this quesiton. How to round a number to n decimal places in Java.
Edit:
if num is double add typecasting to expression (long)((num+5)/10) as suggested by @PeterLawrey

Are you sure? If `num` is 14.0 then this will evaluate to 20. – Bathsheba Oct 03 '16 at 07:09
I might be having a senior moment but the last time I checked, (14.0 + 5) / 10 is 1.9 which becomes 2.0 on rounding. Remember that `Math.round` implements German rounding. – Bathsheba Oct 03 '16 at 07:11
The cast of an int to an int is redundant, worse if it's already a long. – Peter Lawrey Oct 03 '16 at 07:58
@sinsuren the cast is needed if it's a double but then you would use long if possible. It's an int for the OP's question. – Peter Lawrey Oct 03 '16 at 08:18
@PeterLawrey I have changed according to your suggestion. Thankyou for improving answer quality. – sinsuren Oct 03 '16 at 08:31
