System.Math.Round Method

Returns the number nearest the specified double within the specified precision. [Edit]

public static double Round (double value, int digits)

Parameters

value
A double to be rounded. [Edit]
digits
A int containing the value of the number of significant fractional digits (precision) in the return value. This number is required to be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 15. [Edit]
digits
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered. [Edit]

Returns

A double containing the value of the number nearest value with a precision equal to digits . If the digit in value that is in the 10-(digits + 1) place is equal to 5 and there are no non-zero numbers in any less significant place, then the digit in the 10-digits place will be unchanged if it is even, else it will be set to the closest even integer value in the direction of the digit in the 10-(digits + 1) place. If the precision of value is less than digits, then value is returned unchanged. If digits is zero, this method behaves in the same manner as Math.Round(double) (value ). [Edit]

Exceptions

TypeReason
ArgumentOutOfRangeException

digits < 0

-or-

digits > 15

[Edit]

Remarks

The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4.1. [Edit]

Example

The following example demonstrates using the Math.Round(double)(double, int) method.

C# Example
using System;

public class MathRoundExample
{

   public static void Main()
   {

      Double d1 = Math.Round(3.44,1);
      Double d2 = Math.Round(3.45,1);
      Double d3 = Math.Round(3.55,1);
      Console.WriteLine("Math.Round(3.44, 1) returns {0}", d1);
      Console.WriteLine("Math.Round(3.45, 1) returns {0}", d2);
      Console.WriteLine("Math.Round(3.55, 1) returns {0}", d3);

   }

}

The output is

Math.Round(3.44, 1) returns 3.4
Math.Round(3.45, 1) returns 3.4
Math.Round(3.55, 1) returns 3.6
