The integer() function in Lingo happens to round UP (some languages it rounds down, or just acts as a trunc() (truncate) function. Lingo doesn't have a truncate function.
To round up, just do:
result =integer(myNumber)
To round down, you have to subtract .5:
result =integer(myNumber - .5)
So since you're going up, just use the integer() function.

Hi,
Silly question; i need to round a number to the next integer... I'd use ceil(), but since lingo seems to lack actual rounding functions...
How do you generally do this??? I thought of checking the first decimal for > 0, adding 1 if so, setting the floatprecision to 0, converting to a string and back to a number, but that seems really messy for something this stupid...
Thanks,
Chris.
