This is probably an easy question but this kind of basic stuff dosen't seem to be covered anywhere in my dark basic manual or in the program.

Is there a function to round numbers? If not what is the best way to do it?

Thanks,

Joe

hmmm... that depends on the kind of number you're using, and what you want to round to.

if you want to round decimals to whole numbers, you could use the int() command.

if you want to round whole numbers, it gets a little bit more difficult, but not much.

Why do you want to round numbers anyways?

NathF: Thanks, thats perfect. Don't know why I didn't think of it.

PoHa: Thanks, my problem was that the INT command only returns the integer so 7.8 would be 7 when it should be 8. I'm making a Bomberman style game using tiles and I wanted to round the numbers so I could know what tile my character is on.

Or you could use this to speed up code if you use it a lot
