What is the value of "d" after this line of code has been executed?
double d = Math.round ( 2.5 + Math.random() );
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The Math.random() method returns a number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1 . Since we can then be sure that the sum of that number and 2.5 will be greater than or equal to 2.5 and less than 3.5, we can be sure that Math.round() will round that number to 3. So Option B is the answer.

What if only math.round(2.5); ?

I have one doubt.
If Math.round () returns 0 then the answer may become 2.5 also is it correct or wrong?
If Math.round () returns 0 then the answer may become 2.5 also is it correct or wrong?

@Kavitha.
Math.random() "Returns a double value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0."
Thus 2.5 + Math.random() will always be inside [2.5 to 3.5] range.
If the fractional portion of number is .5 or greater, the Math.round()rounded to the next higher integer. If the fractional portion of number is less than .5, the argument is rounded to the next lower integer.
So, The Math.round() of any number within this range[2.5 to 3.5] is 3.

I agree with @Arijit Paul.

Math.round (2.5 + Math.random() ) will return a double value, so the correct answer is 3.0 and not 3.

@Anuj. Yes, it should be 3.0 but it's not in the option.

Hi,
What if Math.random() returns 1.0 and the statement looks like;
double d = Math.round ( 2.5 + 1.0 );
Value of d will be 3.5 and Math.round(3.5) will be 4.0.
What if Math.random() returns 1.0 and the statement looks like;
double d = Math.round ( 2.5 + 1.0 );
Value of d will be 3.5 and Math.round(3.5) will be 4.0.

What if it would be;
double d = Math.round ( 5+ Math.random() +2.5);
the range will be (5.0,3.5)
Please anyone, help me by explaining this.
double d = Math.round ( 5+ Math.random() +2.5);
the range will be (5.0,3.5)
Please anyone, help me by explaining this.
