javascript rounding

I want to round TheCount / 5 to the next highest integer. When TheCount = 12

I tried:

Math.round(TheCount / 5);

but it returns 2 and I need it to return 3.

How does rounding to the next highest integer work?

Thanks.

rather than Math.round you want Math.ceil

So you'd want

var result = Math.ceil(TheCount / 5);

Hope that helps!

I think Math.ceil is what you want.

The ceil function rounds up.

Math.ceil( TheCount / 5 );

Rounding up can be done with Math.ceil
