NAME
round - round numbers to a specified number of decimal places
SYNOPSIS
round(x [,plcs [, rnd]])
TYPES
If x is a matrix or a list, round(x[[i]], ...) is to return
a value for each element x[[i]] of x; the value returned will be
a matrix or list with the same structure as x.
Otherwise, if x is an object of type tt, or if x is not an object or
number but y is an object of type tt, and the function tt_round has
to be defined; the types for x, plcs, rnd, and the returned value, if
any, are as required or specified in the definition of tt_round.
In this object case, plcs and rnd default to the null value.
For other cases:
x number (real or complex)
plcs integer, defaults to zero
rnd integer, defaults to config("round")
return number
DESCRIPTION
For real x, round(x, plcs, rnd) returns x rounded to either
plcs significant figures (if rnd & 32 is nonzero) or to plcs
decimal places (if rnd & 32 is zero). In the significant-figure
case the rounding is to plcs - ilog10(x) - 1 decimal places.
If the number of decimal places is n and eps = 10^-n, the
result is the same as for appr(x, eps, rnd). This will be
exactly x if x is a multiple of eps; otherwise rounding occurs
to one of the nearest multiples of eps on either side of x. Which
of these multiples is returned is determined by z = rnd & 31, i.e.
the five low order bits of rnd, as follows:
z = 0 or 4: round down, i.e. towards minus infinity
z = 1 or 5: round up, i.e. towards plus infinity
z = 2 or 6: round towards zero
z = 3 or 7: round away from zero
z = 8 or 12: round to the nearest even multiple of eps
z = 9 or 13: round to the nearest odd multiple of eps
z = 10 or 14: round to nearest even or odd multiple of eps
according as x > or < 0
z = 11 or 15: round to nearest odd or even multiple of eps
according as x > or < 0
z = 16 to 31: round to the nearest multiple of eps when
this is uniquely determined. Otherwise
rounding is as if z is replaced by z - 16
For complex x:
The real and imaginary parts are rounded as for real x; if the
imaginary part rounds to zero, the result is real.
For matrix or list x:
The returned values has element round(x[[i]], plcs, rnd) in
the same position as x[[i]] in x.
For object x or plcs:
When round(x, plcs, rnd) is called, x is passed by address so may be
changed by assignments; plcs and rnd are copied to temporary
variables, so their values are not changed by the call.
