ROUND() Return a numeric value rounded to a specified number of digits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax ROUND(<nNumber>, <nDecimals>) --> nRounded Arguments <nNumber> is the numeric value to be rounded. <nDecimals> defines the number of decimal places to retain. Specifying a negative <nDecimals> value rounds whole number digits. Returns ROUND() returns a numeric value. Description ROUND() is a numeric function that rounds <nNumber> to the number of places specified by <nDecimals>. Specifying a zero or negative value for <nDecimals> allows rounding of whole numbers. A negative <nDecimals> indicates the number of digits to the left of the decimal point to round. Digits between five to nine (inclusive) are rounded up. Digits below five are rounded down. The display of the return value does not obey the DECIMALS setting unless SET FIXED is ON. With SET FIXED OFF, the display of the return value contains as many decimal digits as you specify for <nDecimals>, or zero, if <nDecimals> is less than one. Examples . These examples round values with decimal digits: SET DECIMALS TO 2 SET FIXED ON // ? ROUND(10.4, 0) // Result: 10.00 ? ROUND(10.5, 0) // Result: 11.00 ? ROUND(10.51, 0) // Result: 11.00 ? ROUND(10.49999999999999, 2) // Result: 10.50 . These examples use a negative <nDecimals> argument to round numeric values to whole number values: ? ROUND(101.99, -1) // Result: 100.00 ? ROUND(109.99, -1) // Result: 110.00 ? ROUND(109.99, -2) // Result: 100.00 Files Library is CLIPPER.LIB.
