Rounding

 [1/1] from: lmecir::mbox::vol::cz at: 26-Dec-2003 11:05


Librarian comment

round is supplied as standard in REBOL 1.3 and later.

Hi all, I submitted rounding functions and Carl agreed they were clean enough to be included to View 1.3 (maybe even to core). There were some discussions W.R.T. the desired behaviour. The URL is http://www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/projects/track.r?id=93& It isn't always practical/possible to obtain the same result using binary and decimal arithmetic, because rounding functions aren't continuous and some decimal numbers aren't exactly representable in binary form. Comments/opinions are welcome. -Ladislav
