Java rounding up to an int using Math.ceil

Question

int total = (int) Math.ceil(157/32);

Why does it still return 4? 157/32 = 4.90625, I need to round up, I\'ve looked around and this se

Answer 1

157/32 is an integer division because all numerical literals are integers unless otherwise specified with a suffix (d for double l for long)

the division is rounded down (to 4) before it is converted to a double (4.0) which is then rounded up (to 4.0)

if you use a variables you can avoid that

double a1=157;
double a2=32;
int total = (int) Math.ceil(a1/a2);
