Rounding Up To The Nearest Hundred

Take advantage of integer division, which truncates the decimal portion of the quotient. To make it look like it’s rounding up, add 99 first.

int rounded = ((num + 99) / 100 ) * 100;

Examples:

801: ((801 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 900 / 100 * 100 → 9 * 100 = 900
99 : ((99 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 198 / 100 * 100 → 1 * 100 = 100
14 : ((14 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 113 / 100 * 100 → 1 * 100 = 100
452: ((452 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 551 / 100 * 100 → 5 * 100 = 500
203: ((203 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 302 / 100 * 100 → 3 * 100 = 300
200: ((200 + 99) / 100) * 100 → 299 / 100 * 100 → 2 * 100 = 200

Relevant Java Language Specification quote, Section 15.17.2:

Integer division rounds toward 0. That is, the quotient produced for
operands n and d that are integers after binary numeric promotion
(§5.6.2) is an integer value q whose magnitude is as large as possible
while satisfying |d · q| ≤ |n|.
