Hi I have a vb application that need to round a number down e.g. 2.556 would become 2.55 and not 2.26 I can do this using a function to strip off the characters more that 2 right from the decimal point using this: Dim TheString As String TheString = 2.556 Dim thelength = Len(TheString) Dim thedecimal = InStr(TheString, ".", CompareM...
Once in a while, I find myself rounding some numbers, and I always have to cast the result to an integer : int rounded = (int) floor(value); Why do all rounding functions (ceil(), floor()) return a floating number, and not an integer ? I find this pretty non-intuitive, and would love to have some explanations ! ...
I know it's really stupid question, but I don't know how to do this in bash: 20 / 30 * 100 It should be 66,67 but expr is saying 0, because it doesn't support float. What command in Linux can replace expr and do this equalation? ...

I have a game engine that uses OpenGL for display. I coded a small menu for it, and then I noticed something odd after rendering the text. http://img43.imageshack.us/i/garbagen.png/ As you see, the font is somewhat unreadable, but the lower parts (like "Tests") look as intended. Seems the position on the screen affects readability, as t...

Hello, We have a problem with rounding of floating point numbers for some financial calculations. Basically, we want to round monetary amounts like 1000000000.555 to 2 decimals. However, the float representation of this number is 1000000000.5549999 and as a result we will round down to 1000000000.55 rather than the correct 1000000000.5...
Hi, I have the following javascript function for rounding: function round(val, numberdigits){ return Math.round(val*Math.pow(10, numberdigits))/Math.pow(10, numberdigits); } In most of the cases, it does its job well, but in some rare cases, the returned value has one digit more, which is always a 5. Example list of results wi...
I'm performing the following operation in Javascript: 0.0030 / 0.031 How can I round the result to an arbitrary number of places? What's the maximum number that a var will hold? ...
I've an excel spreadsheet with a column which has the date and time of a particular event. I would like to round this to the nearest 15 minute interval so that I can count the total number of events in this period. What is the best way to do do the rounding? ...
Hello all, I'm having an issue with a query I wrote where for some reason the variable that I'm using to store a decimal value in returns 6 values after the decimal place (they're mostly 0). I have tried the following (and different combinations using Math.Round) with no luck. Sales = (from invhed in INVHEAD ......
I want to round off my decimal values as below: 7,715.625 becomes 7,716 How do I achieve this? ...
I'm not seeing the result I expect with Math.Round. return Math.Round(99.96535789, 2, MidpointRounding.ToEven); // returning 99.97 As I understand MidpointRounding.ToEven, the 5 in the thousandths position should cause the output to be 99.96. Is this not the case? I even tried this, but it returned 99.97 as well: return Math.Round(9...
Is there any way to round up decimal value to its nearest 0.05 value in .Net? Ex: 7.125 -> 7.15 6.66 -> 6.7 If its now available can anyone provide me the algo? ...
How do I round a double to 5 decimal places, without using DecimalFormat? ...
I have discovered some strange behavior where a stored procedure is returning inaccurate results by a penny or two. Here's the code (I didn't write it): ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[TN_GetSimpleBalance] @custID int, @nBalance decimal (8,2) output AS declare @ArBalance as decimal (8,2) declare @custStatusCode varchar (2) declare @u...
Obviously this is just a fraction of the code. printf("Please enter a positive number that has a fractional part with three or more decimal places\n"); scanf("%5.2d", &x); printf("The number you have entered is %5.2d\n" ,x); Would this automatically round the number I type in? Or is there another way to do this? Edit: printf("Please...
Sort of a quick question. I'm writing: puts "%.3f %.4f %.5f" % [3.998877, 3.998877, 3.998877] and get the following output: 3.999 3.9989 3.99888 sprintf simply rounds the numbers. How do I restrict that rounding? ...
Hello, I am trying to understand how to round to the nearest tenths position with C#. For instance, I have a value that is of type double. This double is currently set to 10.75. However, I need to round and then truncate everything past the tenths position. In this case, I am seeking a value of 10.8. How do I round to the tenths positio...
I'm doing some trigonometry calculations in C/C++ and am running into problems with rounding errors. For example, on my Linux system: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("%e\n", sin(M_PI)); return 0; } This program gives the following output: 1.224647e-16 when the correct answer ...
