how do I round up to the nearest whole number?

Hello everyone! I have a question, how do I round up a number to the nearest whole number

<img src="" border="0" />[/IMG]

How do I round it up to the nearest whole number like 6999? Thanks in advance! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> (My first post)

ceil(x)

"round(x)" also seems to work fine.

Update.

Apparently i can't read very well. >_>

I tend to accidentally a couple of words every now and then...

My most sincere apologies, gentlemen.

— The OP was asking for rounding up. Yes round(x) would work, but if the decimal is below 5 it will round down. ceil(x) will always round up, and floor(x) will always round down.

Because topicstarter was asking for rounding up, ceil() is the right answer.

for rounding up one uses : ceil()

for rounding down one uses : floor()

for rounding up or down one uses : round()

Thanks everyone for your replies, but I still don't get it.

Here's my code: distance(Slingshot.X, Slingshot.Y, snail.X, snail.Y)

I'am trying to make it display the distance between the catapult and the snail, but I don't have any idea where to insert the formula like the ceil(), floor() ect. Thanks!

ceil(distance(Slingshot.X, Slingshot.Y, snail.X, snail.Y))

Got it! Thanks everyone! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

One more question: do I create a elastic band that connect the slingshot to the snail?
