Rounding Numbers

var x = 3.4; var y = 3.5; Math.round(x); //returns 3 Math.round(y); //returns 4 Math.ceil(x); //returns 4 Math.ceil(y); //returns 4 Math.floor(x); //returns 3 Math.floor(y); //returns 3

The JavaScript Math object provides three methods to round numbers. The .round() method rounds numbers #.5 up to the next higher integer and numbers #.49999... down to the next lowest integer. The .ceil() always rounds up to the next highest integer. The .floor() always rounds down to the next lowest integer.
