Purpose
Returns a number obtained by rounding off another number. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Round( num_expr, round_to ) num_expr is a numeric expression.
round_to is the number to which num_expr should be rounded off.
Return Value
Float
Description
The Round() function returns a rounded-off version of the numeric num_expr expression.
The precision of the result depends on the round_to parameter. The Round() function rounds the num_expr value to the nearest multiple of the round_to parameter. If round_to is 0.01, MapInfo Pro rounds to the nearest hundredth; if round_to is 5, MapInfo Pro rounds to the nearest multiple of 5; etc.
Example
Dim x, y As Float
x = 12345.6789
y = Round(x, 100)
' y now has the value 12300
y = Round(x, 1)
' y now has the value 12346
y = Round(x, 0.01)
' y now has the value 12345.68See Also:
