Hi there,

I'm dealing with various decimal numbers:

4.6736583758
28.01392764

etc

How would I round numbers such as these up to the nearest whole number? thanks

Hi Louis,

you'll be surprised (NOT):
put round(4.6736583758) -> 5
put round(28.01392764) -> 28

Check the dictionary for more options of "round"...

Best

Hi.

One way to always round to the next highest integer is to;

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   answer roundUp(msg)
end mouseup

function roundUp var
   return round(var + 0.5)
end roundUp
