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!

roundn

Round a double-precision floating-point number to the nearest multiple of 10^n.

Installation

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

Usage

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

roundn( x, n )

Rounds a double-precision floating-point number to the nearest multiple of 10^n.

// Round a value to 2 decimal places:
var v = roundn( 3.141592653589793, -2 );
// returns 3.14

// If n = 0, `roundn` behaves like `round`:
v = roundn( 3.141592653589793, 0 );
// returns 3.0

// Round a value to the nearest thousand:
v = roundn( 12368.0, 3 );
// returns 12000.0

Notes

• When operating on floating-point numbers in bases other than 2, rounding to specified digits can be inexact. For example,

  var x = 0.2 + 0.1;
  // returns 0.30000000000000004
  
  // Should round to 0.3...
  var v = roundn( x, -16 );
  // returns 0.3000000000000001
  

Examples

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

var x;
var n;
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    n = roundn( randu()*5.0, 0 );
    v = roundn( x, -n );
    console.log( 'x: %d. Number of decimals: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, n, v );
}

C APIs

Usage

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

stdlib_base_roundn( x, n )

Rounds a double-precision floating-point number to the nearest multiple of 10^n.

double y = stdlib_base_roundn( 3.14, -2 );
// returns 3.14

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.
• n: [in] int32_t integer power of 10.

double stdlib_base_roundn( const double x, const int32_t n );

Examples

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

int main( void ) {
    const double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 0.0/0.0 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_roundn( x[ i ], -2 );
        printf( "roundn(%lf) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
