Tests

: the correctness of the returned values is tested by checking them against known good results.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Type

rounding methods

The rounding methods follow the OMG specification available at ftp://ftp.omg.org/pub/docs/formal/00-06-29.pdf

Warning

: the names of the Floor and Ceiling methods might be misleading. Check the provided reference.

Enumerator:

None: do not round: return the number unmodified
Up: the first decimal place past the precision will be rounded up. This differs from the OMG rule which rounds up only if the decimal to be rounded is greater than or equal to the rounding digit
Down: all decimal places past the precision will be truncated
Closest: the first decimal place past the precision will be rounded up if greater than or equal to the rounding digit; this corresponds to the OMG round-up rule. When the rounding digit is 5, the result will be the one closest to the original number, hence the name.
Floor: positive numbers will be rounded up and negative numbers will be rounded down using the OMG round up and round down rules
Ceiling: positive numbers will be rounded down and negative numbers will be rounded up using the OMG round up and round down rules
