Round

Usage

Round[x] gives the integer closest to x.


Notes

• Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10).
• Examples: Round[2.4]LongRightArrow ; Round[2.6]LongRightArrow ; Round[-2.4]LongRightArrow ; Round[-2.6]LongRightArrow .
Round rounds numbers of the form x.5 toward the nearest even integer.
Round[x] returns an integer when x is any numeric quantity, whether or not it is an explicit number.
• Example: Round[Pi^2]LongRightArrow .
• For exact numeric quantities, Round internally uses numerical approximations to establish its result. This process can be affected by the setting of the global variable $MaxExtraPrecision.
• See also: IntegerPart, Floor, Ceiling, Chop.
• New in Version 1; modified in 3.
