Rounding a number off 1

[nfaber]

Greetings,

I have a int variable I wish to round off. an example is:

$num = 171.674560185185

This represents:

171 days

.674560185185 % of one day


I wish to round off .674560185185 in this case to .675

Any ideas?

Straight from perlfaq4:

printf("%.3f", 3.1415926535);	# prints 3.142
# alternatively
$rounded_num = sprintf("%.3f", 3.1415926535);
