a question about precision loss

hi

ive written this simple method dealing with rectangles, but im getting a loss of precision error... i understand that the get methods return doubles but ive tried casting it as an integer, ie (Integer) at the start of the value statement but it doesnt sort it... im a little stumped, can anyone offer any advice?

heres the code:

public int randYAlgae(int index)

{

int pick = rand.nextInt(2);

if(pick == 0)

return (((Rectangle)algaeset.get(index)).getY()) + 5;

else if (pick == 1)

return (((Rectangle)algaeset.get(index)).getY()) - 5;

else return (((Rectangle)algaeset.get(index)).getY());

}
