As Simon shows you, you want to ceil to always go up, and floor to always go down. Neat function names actually... :) A more accurate rounding is HALF-EVEN -- first Google search produces: http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/java/basics/rounding.jspx I did this with php several years ago, namely: http://www.webbytedd.com/bbb/rounding/ I leave it to the community to develop the code.
