According to Wikipedia when rounding a negative number, you round the absolute number. So by that reasoning, -3.5 would be rounded to -4. But when I use java.lang.Math.round(-3.5) returns -3. Can someone please explain this?

    According to the javadoc

    Returns the closest long to the argument. The result is rounded to an integer by adding 1/2, taking the floor of the result, and casting the result to type long. In other words, the result is equal to the value of the expression:

    (long)Math.floor(a + 0.5d)

    Conceptually, you round up. In other words, to the next integer greater than the value and -3 is greater than -3.5, while -4 is less.
