round(p1 = v1, p2 = {}) public

Returns float rounded to the nearest value with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).

When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.

Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

If the optional half keyword argument is given, numbers that are half-way between two possible rounded values will be rounded according to the specified tie-breaking mode:

  • :up or nil: round half away from zero (default)

  • :down: round half toward zero

  • :even: round half toward the nearest even number

3.5.round(half: :even)    #=> 4
(-2.5).round(half: :up)   #=> -3
(-2.5).round(half: :down) #=> -2
(-2.5).round(half: :even) #=> -2
