rounding up with < .5 ?

[Zac Elston]

I'd like to round 5.2 up to 6.  Neither round or statround seem to allow me
to do this. For both, using precision 0 gives me 5, -1 gives me 10 and 1
gives me 5.3.  (I do understand the difference between the two)

Is there a way to check if a var is an int or float? and convert?

I can see doing do char evals with

set the itemdel to "."
if the number of items in MyNumb >1 then
put item 1 of MyNumb + 1 into MyRoundUpNum
end if

Maybe I'm going about this all wrong.  any pointers?

thanks
