So Nint is some heavy intellectual stuff after all!!!!

Do a google search for "nint": You get all this way-post-PHD level math and/or science stuff I think (Please consider my lack of specificityas support for my point rather than my cluelessness).

I haven't found the same level of support on the net yet for loving things that rhyme with "int intin"

But I will.

You're flint hintin I will!!!.

Thelil, why are so many liberals math-challenged? There's nothing all that complex about Nint, a function that rounds to the nearest integer. NINT functions usually add the rule that a half-integer, i.e. a number that ends in a 0.5, is rounded to the closest even number.

[1.5] =2.
[2.5]=2.
[4.677]=5

The brackets indicate the application of nint.

Why?

0.0-0.4/ 0.5-0.9 both sets have five members. Rounding up from .5 is more logical. What's the advantage of moving every other .5 ending the other way?
