i used to always want to know this
i always asked in the forums and searched the forums and i always got a realy confusing or un-understandable responce

well heres a simple way when you look at it from the big picture


the command hi# accepts decimals
the command hi wont accept decimals, so if you say hi=hi# then it will munch away the decimals
then you do hi#-hi which simple finds out the missing decimals
and then you do a simple if, if the number is greater than 0.5 than you increase hi by one
and then print hi
if you wanted hi to become a # then simple do
hi#=hi
you may want to do it if its bigger than 0.499

Because those commands have only been there since 6.0 updates.
