round

Round the argument to the nearest integer.

Synopsis

val = round(someval)

Description

round returns (as a double) the nearest integer (“rounded off”) value of the argument someval. That is, 3.789 becomes 4.0; 987.123 becomes 987.0. This differs from the trunc scorefile command in that it will return the closest int, where trunc simply ignores the values after the decimal point.

Arguments

• someval
  Any number, floating point or integer (although an int would be silly…)

Examples

   roundedval = round(arbitrary_val)
