note 84766 added to function.ceil

What the hell is with all of the string manipulation when you are carrying out a mathematical operation? Use something like: sub round_it { my $num = shift; my $sig = shift; my $neg = 0; if ($num < 0) { $num += -(2 * $num); $neg = 1; } my $ret = int($num * (10 ** $sig)) / (10 ** $sig); if ($ret < $num) { if (($num * (10 ** length($ret))) % ($ret * (10 ** length($ret))) > 5) { $ret += 100 / (10 ** length($ret)); } } return $neg == 1 ? -$ret : $ret; } for it to be done logically and correctly. Jesus. No wonder the term "PHP programmer" is also meant to mean "Idiot". ---- Server IP: 130.206.1.5 Probable Submitter: 82.38.255.42 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ceil.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84766 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84766 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84766 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
