this may be a trivial question but I need to round a double away from zero - and I can't seem to find a method that does that easily - i know i could implement it myself but I'd only do that if it's absolutely necessary.

1You could have written that function is less time than it took you to ask this question. – DJClayworth Jun 11 '14 at 20:19

You can use a combination of Math.ceil and Math.floor:
(x > 0) ? Math.ceil(x) : Math.floor(x)
If x is positive, we "round up" using ceil; if x is negative (or zero) we "round down" using floor.

In addition to the already suggested ceil and floor combination:
Math.ceil(Math.abs(x))*Math.signum(x);
It rounds up the absolute value, then puts the sign back by multiplying by Math.signum(x).
