rounding

Hi

I need function which returns:

for any number from range => result

[0.001,0.01) => 0.01

[0.01,0.1) => 0.1

[0.1,1) => 1

[1,10) => 10

[10,100) => 100

etc.

My first idea was to use if, but this the worst way. Is there a simple solution?

Is Programming == Math?

I've heard many times that all programming is really a subset of math. Some suggest that OO, at its roots, is mathematically based. I don't get the connection.
