How to import floor, ceil, etc with MIDP?

[SpaceCowboy]

I'm using Sun ONE Studio 4 update 1, Community Edition with Nokia
Developer's Suite integration. I'm developing a J2ME project with MIDP.

I wanted to use the java.math.floor() function, but whenver I tried to
import the java.math package, the compiler told me it couldn't be found. I
was finally able to import java.lang.math, but this has a bare minimum
mathematic functions. I'm still a newb, so can someone help me with this?

In J2SE floor is a static method of the java.lang.Math object. If it's
not there in the J2ME version of the API, then it's nowhere.

java.math.floor()

Java is case sensitive. The package is called java.lang. The class is
called java.lang.Math. You don't have to import java.lang.* classes.

So you can just say Math.floor( x );

I found java.lang.math

There is no such thing. What you may have found was java.lang.Math

Java is case sensitive.

Unfortunately, it does not contain the floor function. I found out MIDP 1.0
doesn't support floating point, so it's a moot point. I wound up just
making a fixed point version of the function I was writing.

check out C:/j2sdk1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html

It most definitively has a floor function.

static double floor( double )

Roedy, I think you are confusing things. They are talking about MIDP.
MIDP indeed doesn't support floats.
And java.lang.Math for MIDP contains no floor function.

That would be awesome since all of my development right now is centered
around MIDP/J2ME.

Arrgh. Sorry about that. Too bad they did not use different class
names.

I think the reason is that the normal java.lang.Math contains all functions
from little brother MIDP + many more. (for sharing your code upwards)

We may need a special newsgroup for MIDP and other mini-Javas since
that knowledge is specialised.

Yes, that would be very useful!
