Right, my fault.
Sorry, I am still wondering: round(x,n) rounds towards zero, even for
non-integers
(as is documented in;
"The round() functions return the integral value nearest to x rounding
halfway
cases away from zero, regardless of the current rounding direction.")
julia> round(0.025, 2)
0.03
so round(x,2) works like round(100*x)/100. (This is what I do in MATLAB.)
What I would like to have is a function round_ieee(x,n) such that
julia> round_ieee(0.025, 2)
0.02
Can I do this somehow with with_rounding() do ... end ?
