round( )

Synopsis

                     number round(number x)

The round( ) function returns the integer closest to x. For example, round(3.141592) returns 3. round(-3.141592) returns -3. If two integers are equally close to x, then the one that is closer to positive infinity is returned. For example, round(3.5) returns 4, and round(-3.5) returns -3. Nonnumber types are converted to numbers as if by the number( ) function, before rounding.
