Example: User needs .5 gallons of paint for a wall. User must purchase entire gallon.

This needs to be rounded up after calculations have taken place or it will affect the math

    Use the math.ceil() function. e.g. final_number = math.ceil(.25) = 1.0, you can then take the int() to remove the decimal point and trailing zero e.g. final_number = int(math.ceil(.25)) = 1.. math also has another built in function math.floor() which rounds down rather than up! Good luck! – TheLazyScripter Apr 13 '16 at 23:39

Already answered, you can use the ceil function in the math module. How do you round UP a number in Python?
