round a number up

[deep-wood]

hi!

im dividing a number up, lets just say num1 = 5 and num2 = 15

answer = num2 + num1

this would give answer of 3 - alls great.

however, say num2 = 16. using that same equation gives an answer of 3.2
how would i get rid of the .2 bit to leave only 3?

would string replace work? and if so, how exactly do i do this?

thanks people

i just looked on w3schools,

used this, <%response.write(FormatNumber(3.2,0))%> - which works, gives 3

however, <%response.write(FormatNumber(3.8,0))%> would give 4...so im even more stuck lol

You were on the right lines... try FormatNumber(n-0.5,0) ;)

int(n-0.5,0) might also work.

Why don't you go oldschool. We know that if you add .5 and it is not greater then int(num) it needs to be rounded down else it needs to be rounded up.
if(int(num+.5)=int(num))
num=int(num)
Else
num=int(num+1)
