Why is Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER 9,007,199,254,740,991 and not 9,007,199,254,740,992?

I would say its because while Math.pow(2, 53) is the largest directly representable integer, its unsafe in that its also the first value who’s representation is also an approximation of another value: 9007199254740992 == 9007199254740993 // true In contrast to Math.pow(2, 53) – 1: 9007199254740991 == 9007199254740993 // false

How to convert a string of space- and comma- separated numbers into a list of int? [duplicate]

Split on commas, then map to integers: map(int, example_string.split(‘,’)) Or use a list comprehension: [int(s) for s in example_string.split(‘,’)] The latter works better if you want a list result, or you can wrap the map() call in list(). This works because int() tolerates whitespace: >>> example_string = ‘0, 0, 0, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0, … Read more

round a floating-point number to the next integer value in java

You should look at ceiling rounding up in java’s math packages: Math.ceil EDIT: Added the javadoc for Math.ceil. It may be worth reading all the method in Math. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Math.html#ceil%28double%29 public static double ceil(double a) Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value that is greater than or equal to the argument and is equal … Read more
