Java: trying to get percentage of integers, how to round?
I have two integer values: x and total. I am trying to find the percentage of x overall as an integer. This is how I do it right now:
percent = (int) ((x * 100) / total);
Percentage must be an integer. When I do this, it always rounds the decimal point down. Is there an easy way to calculate the percentage as an integer so that it rounds up if the decimal digit is .5 or higher?

You can add 0.5 for positive values (round to infinity)
percentage = (int)(x * 100.0 / total + 0.5);
It's faster than using Math.round, but maybe not as clear.
BTW: 100.0 / total * x
May not give the same result x * 100.0 / total
as the order of evaluation can change the result for floating point.
