Public Shared Function Round (d As Decimal, decimals As Integer, mode As MidpointRounding) As Decimal

Parameters

d

Decimal

A decimal number to round.

decimals

Int32

The number of significant decimal places (precision) in the return value.

mode

MidpointRounding

One of the enumeration values that specifies which rounding strategy to use.

Returns

Decimal

The number that d is rounded to using the mode rounding strategy and with a precision of decimals. If the precision of d is less than decimals, d is returned unchanged.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

decimals is less than 0 or greater than 28.

ArgumentException

mode is not a MidpointRounding value.

OverflowException

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use the Round(Decimal, Int32, MidpointRounding) method with the MidpointRounding enumeration.

decimal result;

// Round a positive value using different strategies.
// The precision of the result is 1 decimal place.

result = Math.Round(3.45m, 1, MidpointRounding.ToEven);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({3.45m}, 1, MidpointRounding.ToEven)");
result = Math.Round(3.45m, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({3.45m}, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)");
result = Math.Round(3.47m, 1, MidpointRounding.ToZero);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({3.47m}, 1, MidpointRounding.ToZero)\n");

// Round a negative value using different strategies.
// The precision of the result is 1 decimal place.

result = Math.Round(-3.45m, 1, MidpointRounding.ToEven);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({-3.45m}, 1, MidpointRounding.ToEven)");
result = Math.Round(-3.45m, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({-3.45m}, 1, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)");
result = Math.Round(-3.47m, 1, MidpointRounding.ToZero);
Console.WriteLine($"{result} = Math.Round({-3.47m}, 1, MidpointRounding.ToZero)\n");

Remarks

The decimals parameter specifies the number of significant decimal places in the return value and ranges from 0 to 28. If decimals is zero, an integer is returned.

If you specify ToEven or AwayFromZero for the mode parameter, those rounding strategies are only applied for midpoint values, that is, values whose least significant digit is 5.

 static System::Decimal Round(System::Decimal d) = System::Numerics::IFloatingPoint<System::Decimal>::Round;

public static decimal Round (decimal d);

static member Round : decimal -> decimal

Public Shared Function Round (d As Decimal) As Decimal

Parameters

d

Decimal

A decimal number to round.

Returns

Decimal

The integer that is nearest to the d parameter. If d is halfway between two integers, one of which is even and the other odd, the even number is returned.

Exceptions

OverflowException

The result is outside the range of a Decimal value.

Examples

The following example rounds a range of Decimal values between 100 and 102 to the nearest integer. Because the method uses banker's rounding, 100.5 rounds to 100 and 101.5 rounds to 102.

Remarks

The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called round half to even or banker's rounding. It minimizes rounding errors that result from consistently rounding a midpoint value in a single direction. It is equivalent to calling the Round(Decimal, MidpointRounding) method with a mode argument of MidpointRounding.ToEven.

Remarks

This method is equivalent to calling the Round(Decimal, Int32, MidpointRounding) method with a mode argument of MidpointRounding.ToEven. When d is exactly halfway between two rounded values, the result is the rounded value that has an even digit in the far right decimal position. For example, when rounded to two decimals, the value 2.345 becomes 2.34 and the value 2.355 becomes 2.36. This process is known as rounding toward even, or banker's rounding. It minimizes rounding errors that result from consistently rounding a midpoint value in a single direction.
