It's important when talking about rounding that we be clear on the direction we mean. For they are different: Original Rounded Towards Positive Infinity 4.3 5 -4.3 -4 Towards Negative Infinity 4.3 4 -4.3 -5 Toward Zero 4.3 4 -4.3 -4 Away from zero 4.3 5 -4.3 -5 Towards the nearest number 4.3 4 -4.3 -4 5.3 5 -5.3 -5 Towards the even number. 4.3 4 -4.3 -4 5.3 6 -5.3 -6 Note: We can speak of rounding a number even though we are not at the halfway mark. That is, the examples above are deliberately at the .3 interval rather than .5. ---- Server IP: 203.16.234.19 Probable Submitter: 59.167.14.102 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.round.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/66449 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/66449 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/66449 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
