Could anyone tell me how to round off a number to certain significant
figures using C++?
For example, how to round off a number 12567 to 13000 (2 significant
figures)?

Look on http://groups.google.com for "implement rounding c++". You will
find plenty of solutions.

How would you do in on paper? Let me guess, you take the 3rd digit
(3, since you want to keep only 2 digits). If this third digit is
[0..4], set it and the digits following to 0. If the digit is
[5..9], increase the second digit (which may overflow, it it's 9)
and set the 3rd and following digits to 0.
Now, splitting a number into decimal digits is a bit tricky. You
need to know that the modulo operator in C++ is called '%', e.g.
25 modulo 10 is written (25%10)==5

I realize this probably a stupid question, but...is it safe to
round to the nearest integer by using int(round(val))?
I suspect it is fine, but wanted to be sure that weird floating point
representation on some platform might make it unsafe there (i.e. get the
wrong value due to the floating point value being an approximation) and
if so, is there a Better Way).

Hi everybody, I've got a problem.
I'm trying to round a double to a particular number of significant

Consider the equation (flight dynamics stuff):
Yaw (Degrees) = Azimuth Angle(Radians) * 180 (Degrees) /
3.1415926535897932384626433832795 (Radians)
There's a valid reason to use single precision floating point types.
The number of decimal digits guaranteed to be correct on my
implementation is 6. (i.e numeric_limits < float >::digits10 = 6 )
If I'm reading the IEEE standard, I'd could paraphrase the issue

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
