# pointless-integer-math

**Default severity:** `warning`

An integer converted to floating point is already integral and finite.
Rounding it with `math.Ceil`, `math.Floor`, or `math.Trunc`, or testing it with
`math.IsNaN` or `math.IsInf`, cannot provide useful information.

## Bad

```go
rounded := math.Ceil(float64(count))
```

## Good

```go
rounded := math.Ceil(measurement)
```
