Hi all,
I have just discovered that the system.round function has this very
odd behavior of rounding towards an even number when the fractional
part is .5 -- in the system.round documentation this is described as
"banker's rounding"
I do not like this behavior. How can I use a more
mathematically-traditional round function, which always rounds .5 up,
and everything below .5 down?
Do I need to write this function myself?
Just checked again, most FPUs only seem to support "banker's rounding",
"round up", "round down" and "truncate", so these four are the only ones
supported by FPC's and Delphi's rounding mechanism. So if you want
normal mathematical rounding then you'll need to write your own function.
Regards,
Sven
