Summary: [C++][Gandiva] Fix logic of round() for floats/decimals in Gandiva Key: ARROW-10234 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-10234 Project: Apache Arrow Issue Type: Bug Components: C++ - Gandiva Reporter: Sagnik Chakraborty Assignee: Sagnik Chakraborty round() for floats/doubles is returning incorrect results for some edge cases, like round(cast(1.55 as float), 1) gives 1.6, but it should be 1.5, since the result after casting to float comes to 1.5499999523162842, due to inaccurate representation of floating point numbers in memory. Removing an intermediate explicit cast to float statement for a double value, which is used in subsequent computations, minimises the error introduced due to the incorrect representation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
