int Block in Scratch
For those of you who dont know what int does then it rounds a number down to it's nearest lower whole number. Could we have this as a block in Scratch?

(round((var)-(0.5)))and for round-up:
(round((var)+(0.49999999999999999)))

You don't need the .99999, 5 is fine
Int only rounds down anyway.

No, if var is a whole number it will add .5 and round up to the number above.

Re: int Block in Scratch
A better way is to X - X mod 1, but this needs the input twice.

Re: int Block in Scratch
Yep, round up needs the .999999999
and cool, the mod technique works for "round-up"
