Udacity CS101 Homework 1 Ex 9
#Given a variable, x, that stores
#the value of any decimal number,
#write Python code that prints out
#the nearest whole number to x.
#You can assume x is not negative.
# x = 3.14159 -> 3 (not 3.0)
# x = 27.63 -> 28 (not 28.0)
x = 3.14159
#DO NOT USE IMPORT
#ENTER CODE BELOW HERE
#ANY CODE ABOVE WILL CAUSE
#HOMEWORK TO BE GRADED
#INCORRECT
x += 0.5 # by adding 0.5 we either get the number to "round up" if it's >= than nr.5 or we keep it the same
x = str(x) # turn the number into a string
print x[:x.find('.')] # print the string up to the period sign
