I think the easiest way to think of int() is that it returns the integer portion of a floating point number (rounds towards zero). int(5.1) will return 5, and int(5.999) will return 5, because that's what's to the left of the decimal. As far as rounding numbers in Perl, it's a FAQ, and the answer can be found here: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/perl/pod/perlfaq4/Does_Perl_have_a_round()_function__What_.html Cheers, kjw _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
