how do you round a decimal number to a whole number?

Question

This is the code I am using but I keep getting a decimal number and I would like to get a whole number:

 total=0
      for i in empty:
          i=ord(i)
          total=total+i
      total=total/8
      print("this is you offset factor.....")

The numbers I keep on getting are numbers like this: 70.75 or 62.625

Please see [How to ask](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask). A minimal amount of research, like searching for "python round", would have given you the answer. — Andrew Morton, Jan 14 '16 at 09:34

cast to int

>>> int(70.75)
70
>>> int(round(70.75, 0))
71
