Hi,

Ran accross a function called "ceil" and from the information I got
on this:
"ceil() [Stands for ceiling], it just rounds a float value up.. so
ceil(4.7) == ceil(4.1342) == 5"
would this be the same as using "int" function in perl
No. int() simply drops the fractional part.
ceil() is often presented with a sister function called floor().  That 
would be the same as Perl's int().
