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
