To round normally, use round(x,1). To cut off the part after the decimal (for positive numbers, this is the same as finding the floor), use round(x).

To find the ceiling of a positive number, you'll have to be a little more creative. round(x) will give you a floor in this case, but if you want to always round up, you'll have to add 1. However, there's the special case where x==round(x), so you should try this:
((x==round(x))?(x):(round(x)+1))

If you insert that into a stat panel or something:
stat("Strength",(x==round(x))?(x):(round(x)+1))

What he was "getting at" is that in your game, if I kill a monster who gives 5 experience, I'll earn 6 experience for it! You call that rounding? I suggest you go back and read through Lummox's post again... if you don't understand some of the terms, do a little research on the subject and you'll probably learn something you can use all over the place.
