Round a floating point number to specified decimal places (Float class)
The Round intrinsic function returns a floating point number that is the method object number rounded to a specified number of decimal places.
Syntax
%number = float:Round[( [dp])]
Syntax terms
| %number | A variable to receive the floating point result. |
|---|---|
| float | A Float value to be rounded to the number of decimal places specified in the method argument, dp. |
| dp | A numeric value that specifies the number of decimal places to which the input number is rounded. This value defaults to 0, and it must be between 0 and 75. |
Usage notes
- Negative numbers are rounded down to the nearest integer; positive numbers are rounded up.
Examples
The following program demonstrates the Round method.
begin printText {~} = {3.1415926:round} printText {~} = {3.1415926:round(0)} printText {~} = {3.1415926:round(1)} printText {~} = {3.1415926:round(4)} end
The result is:
3.1415926:round = 3 3.1415926:round(0) = 3 3.1415926:round(1) = 3.1 3.1415926:round(4) = 3.1416
