Rounding numbers

[moosethumbs]

This is more of a generic powershell question than a VI Toolkit question, but I have been googling like crazy and haven't been able to find an answer yet. When using the ::round() function, is it possible to always round the result up? So like if it's 3.1, I want the result ot be 4. Thanks.

::Round() has some various overloads (sets of parameters), but none of them will do what you are looking for. Here's a way to do it:

( [math]::Truncate( $int ) ) +1

Well, that's one way to go too.

I was going to suggest math::ceiling. math::floor goes the other way.

Please note that you have to add square brackets around math in both of the above.

Sweet! Thanks for your replies guys. math::ceiling($int) works best for me because sometimes the $int is already a whole number, so I don't want to add 1 to it.
