Rounding

[Anonymous]

Is there a GDL routine to round a number up to the next whole. ie 17.1 to 18?

Hello Doug,
Check out the arithmetical function ceil().

Hello Doug,
I am afraid that doing word searches in the GDL manual is not
the way to go unless you are trained in mathematics.
Many of the terms, command names, explanations etc
are derived from mathematical and computer terms.
Ceil and int are typical examples.
There is no substitute for reading the GDL manual.
