No, the OP wanted 'ceiling' division rather than 'floor' division. In other words, always round up instead of down. | If so, consider that that is the same as (a/b) + (b/2b), | which is (2a/2b) + (b/2b), which is (2a+b)/2b. This is nice for rounded division. tjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
