     The Math.round() methods will do double to *long* or
*float* to int, but I don't know of a static double-to-int.

     But here's a *really* ugly idea:

	double d = ...;
	int i = new Double(d).intValue();

Personally, I think you should show the class the (int) operator,
telling them "I'll explain this in a later lesson; for now, just
use it as shown and don't ask questions."
