By "care how" I mean Banker's Rounding vs Normal Rounding.
BTW, these are only the two I use most often, there are bunches of
rounding algorithms that have different outputs. For a non-exhaustive
list see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196652. Which one you use
depends heavily on what exactly you are trying to achieve with the
rounding; however, in most cases you don't care that much and just use
whatever algorithm sprintf implements on your system.
