Title Body

I just wrote a tiny method to count the number of pages for cell phone SMS. I didn't have the option to round up using Math.ceil , and honestly it seems to be very ugly. Here 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); } } } I don't really like this piece of code and I'm looking for a more elegant way of doing this. With this, I'm expecting 3 and not 3.0000000. Any ideas?
