How do I round up a number?

Hi, I was wondering whether there's any function other than 'round(X)' that can round up a number? I'm trying not to use round(X) because every time I use it, I get an error: Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals. Thanks

You are probably getting that error because somehow you have created a variable called "round".

What do you get if you type

>> which round

Oh my you're right, I forgot that I actually have a variable called 'round'. I'll change the variable to another name. Thank you for you help.
