Message: [QUOTE="bdsatish, post: 3534177"] No. not at all. The clause "nearest even" comes into picture only when a number is of form "x.5" or else it's same as builtin round( ). new_round(3.0) must be 3.0 itself. Here is the mathematical definition of what I want: If 'n' is an integer, new_round(n+0.5) = n if n/2 is integer new_round(n+0.5) = (n+1) if (n+1)/2 is integer In all other cases, new_round() behave similarly as round( ). Here are the results I expect: new_round(3.2) = 3 new_round(3.6) = 4 new_round(3.5) = 4 new_round(2.5) = 2 new_round(-0.5) = 0.0 new_round(-1.5) = -2.0 new_round(-1.3) = -1.0 new_round(-1.8) = -2 new_round(-2.5) = -2.0 The built-in function doesnt meet my needs for round(-2.5) or round(2.5) [/QUOTE]
