>>Hi to all,

12.345   -> 12.3

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.

Take the number 45 and round it to the nearest 100. Your logic would indicate that you round the 5 up producing 50 and then round this up to 100.

I can't believe that would be true and I don't see any reason why rounding decimals should be different from rounding integers.

Have I read you properly?
