Math.round

isn't it better to use Math.round instead of Math.floor and Math.ceil?

Hi Mahmoud,

it depends on what you want to do...

The Math.round() returns the value of a number rounded to the nearest integer.

The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.

The Math.ceil() function always rounds a number up to the next largest integer.

Those produce different results and depending on what you need you have to use the appropriate function.

Makes sense?
