Either I'm retarded for not being able to find this, Maya is retarded for not having it built in:

Is there a command for rounding floats to integers? Straight declaration only truncates it (ie. int $blah = 45.6 returns 45, not 46). It's easy to put this in an "if" statement, but I shouldn't have to.

how about ceil and floor?

floor 45.6;  
// Result: 45 //

ceil 45.6;  
// Result: 46 //
