    I'm not aware of any standard methods that will do this for you. All you
    have to do though is add 0.5 and then use Math.round(). Alternately, add 1
    and use Math.floor(), cutting out the middleman as Math.round() adds 0.5 and
    calls Math.floor().

      Math class also contains:
      static double ceil(double a)
      Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value
      that is not less than the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer.
