Add 0.5 and assign it to an integer.

That would be ill-advised. ceil(0.1) gives 1, which actually
should be 0 AFA rounding is concerned, no?

I realized it as soon as I posted my response; still, I will use the
incomplete requirement as an excuse:
"Say I have the number 15.7, how can I round it up to 16?"

Yes, we both used what is allowed on Usenet and sometimes leads to
unexpected results -- assumptions :-) I assumed the requirement was
to round in the general sense, you used the precise requirements
stated in the posting. Either can be incorrect.

Usually, but if the rounding mode is round upward or round away from
zero then 1 is right (but not right for negative numbers in the latter
case). <g>

He didn't say up or nearest so it's a pretty good excuse.
He also didn't say what he wanted to do with the rounded value.
Usually, when I'm rounding, it's for printing output. If that's the
case here, then one can use formatting:
printf("The number is: %.0f\n", num");
or
cout.setf(cout. fixed, cout.floatfield );
cout.precision( 0);
cout << "The number is: " << num << endl; This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am using vb.net 2003 professional and I get the following results
when using the round method:
dim Amount as decimal = 180.255
Amount = Amount.Round(Amount, 2)
Amount now contains 180.25. I need it to contain 180.26.
Any ideas?

Lets assume all calculations are done with decimal data types so things

When it comes to the final rounding to cut a check to pay dividends for

Hello everyone,
I don't understand how the lrint() function works.
long lrint(double x);
The function returns the nearest long integer to x, consistent with the
current rounding mode. It raises an invalid floating-point exception if
the magnitude of the rounded value is too large to represent. And it
raises an inexact floating-point exception if the return value does not

The built-in function round( ) will always "round up", that is 1.5 is
rounded to 2.0 and 2.5 is rounded to 3.0.
If I want to round to the nearest even, that is
my_round(1.5) = 2 # As expected
my_round(2.5) = 2 # Not 3, which is an odd num
I'm interested in rounding numbers of the form "x.5" depending upon
whether x is odd or even. Any idea about how to implement it ?

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.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...
