About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Round

Round a numeric value to the nearest integer.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-round

Usage

var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );

round( x )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest integer.

var v = round( -4.2 );
// returns -4.0

v = round( -4.5 );
// returns -4.0

v = round( -4.6 );
// returns -5.0

v = round( 9.99999 );
// returns 10.0

v = round( 9.5 );
// returns 10.0

v = round( 9.2 );
// returns 9.0

v = round( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = round( -0.0 );
// returns -0.0

v = round( Infinity );
// returns Infinity

v = round( -Infinity );
// returns -Infinity

v = round( NaN );
// returns NaN

Notes

• Ties are rounded toward positive infinity.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-round' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    console.log( 'Value: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, round( x ) );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/round.h"

stdlib_base_round( x )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest integer.

double out = stdlib_base_round( -4.2 );
// returns -4.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.

double stdlib_base_round( const double x );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/round.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { -5.0, -3.89, -2.78, -1.67, -0.56, 0.56, 1.67, 2.78, 3.89, 5.0 };
    
    double v;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
        v = stdlib_base_round( x[ i ] );
        printf( "round(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], v );
    }
}
