Rounding off a double
Does anyone have any sample code on how to round off a double to a whole number (nearest one)? Say for example rounding 2.12 to 3 and 2.7 to 3?
Any help would be appreciated. I am learning C and have not found
this info on the net so far (though it might be out there).
Thanks.
ceil() from math.h will do exactly what you give as examples. However, I believe what you actually want isThat will round any number UP that ends with .5 or higher, and down if it's ending with .4999999 or lower. So 2.12 turns into 2.0, 2.7 turns into 3.0Code:double round(double x) { return floor(x + 0.5); }

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Although, if you're including math.h, there's a perfectly good round() function already there.
I think round() is C99 only - and so may not be available.
Which is a good reason to call it "my_round()", or something similar, to avoid potential name collisions.
