How to round up integer division and have int result in Java

Question

I am working on a code to count the number of pages in an SMS. I don't have the option to roundup the integer using  Math.ceil 
This is my code:

public class Main {

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
   String message = "today we stumbled upon a huge performance leak while optimizing a raycasting algorithm. Much to our surprise, the Math.floor() method took almost half of the calculation time: 3 floor operations took the same amount of time as one trilinear interpolation. Since we could not belive that the floor-method could produce such a enourmous overhead, we wrote a small test program that reproduce";

   System.out.printf("COunt is %d ",(int)messagePageCount(message));


}

public static double messagePageCount(String message){
    if(message.trim().isEmpty() || message.trim().length() == 0){
        return 0;
    } else{
        if(message.length() <= 160){
            return 1;
        } else {
            return Math.ceil((double)message.length()/153);
        }
    }
}

Is there a better way to do it other than Math.ceil?

Answer 1

Use this to roundup an integer:

import static java.lang.Math.abs;

public static long roundUp(long num, long divisor) {
    int sign = (num > 0 ? 1 : -1) * (divisor > 0 ? 1 : -1);
    return sign * (abs(num) + abs(divisor) - 1) / abs(divisor);
}

And if both numbers are positive:

public static long roundUp(long num, long divisor) {
    return (num + divisor - 1) / divisor;
}

I hope this helps.
