Thread: Rounding up or down accordingly...

how do you do it?

I want to round up if the value is .5+, and down if .49 or less.

preferably in an elegant way...

short code looks pretty.

round().

Unless you're on some compiler that hasn't gotten up to 1999, in which case you have to trunc(number+0.5).

how do you use it?

is there a guide here on the forum?

Do you have a C book, or reference of some kind? They're "built-in" functions (library functions, really, but close enough).

Anyway, they're in <math.h>.

2 The round functions round their argument to the nearest integer value in floating-point
format, rounding halfway cases away from zero, regardless of the current rounding
direction.
Returns
3 The round functions return the rounded integer value.

And I guess trunc is C99 only, too, it's floor that's in C89.
