How to round off a number

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules
1

I am using a slider that goes to 100%
But because I need a value of 255, I multiply it by 2.55 like this

val redValue= 2.55* (NEO_SLIDERRED.state as DecimalType)

but that gives me a value of 254.99999999999997

and ‘0’ ofcourse will become 0.0

How do I round those numbers and get rid of the decimal?
I will try (as Number) as soon as I restrated openhab as a consequence of the next error
//---------
Anyway, I do encounter another problem with this multiplication.
It starts generating an erreor and crashes openhan

Obviously Openhab doesnt like me to multiply some thing to become bigger than 100

I’m sure there’s a better way to do it but this works:

val redValue = (2.55* (NEO_SLIDERRED.state as DecimalType) + 0.5).intValue()

(notice the + 0.5 so the value effectively ranges from 0 to 255)
BTW I tried it I don’t get any error when playing with the slider, the error must come from somewhere else

Thanks, I will give that a try Dominique (as soon as I restart OpemHab)

Sadly though the error occurred twice now… after playing with the sliders. I will see what happens

Try:
val redValue= Math::round(2.55* (NEO_SLIDERRED.state as DecimalType).intValue)

Thank you. I will try it all :slight_smile:

Thanks Alpoy, Sominique. It seem sthat the ‘Math::round’ version worked for me.

Not all issues solved as that very tiny sidemap seems a bit unstable after I added the sliders., but at least one problem solved :slight_smile:

Sadly though the specific sitemap keeps crashing after playing with the sliders
