german highschool (if i remember correctly). are you saying it's wrong? if so, then how come the result is correct/matches.

you wanna give me the 'correct' answer then?

>>>Here is the controversy:

12.345   -> 12.3
>>>         -> 12.4

In my opinion, the first one (12.3) is the correct 'mathematical rounding' (to 1 decimal here). However, some colleagues say the second one is correct.

>>sorry, but you are incorrect.

>>roundiung starts at the very end. therefore, the 5 gets rounded up, changing the 4 into a five.
>>
>>since the 4 is a 5 now, this one gets rounded up making out of the 3 a 4.
>>
>>so you end up with 12.4

>>if you limit the round() function to how many decimals it is supposed to look at the result will change.

>>?round(12.345, 1) = 12.3 because the function ignores the 5
