Danny,

rounding to the next highest integer is usually accomplished by first
adding 0.5, then rounding to the nearest integer.
But, you could also use a Ceiling function:

1) add a slider to your canvas, make it go from 0.0 to 10.0
2) add a new number parameter (Params.Primitive panel), feed the
slider into the parameter.
3) open the parameter menu and go into the Expression sub-menu, then
open the Expression Editor.
4) in the textfield type: Ceiling(num)
5) now, the parameter will contain the nearest biggest integer.

If you want to use other functions, click on the "display function
list" button in the Expression editor. We also have Round() and
Floor(), Int(), Fix() and CInt(), these are all rounding functions.
