[ob. filter faker: mysql] For what it's worth, here's an algorithm I use to write my own rounding function.
To round to the nearest N number of places. 1) divide the number by N 2) add .5 (for negative numbers subtract .5) 3) truncate the result (take integer part) 4) multiply result by N Example: To round 758.43 to nearest 10's 1) 758.43 / 10 = 75.843 2) 75.843 + .5 = 76.343 3) int(76.343) = 76 4) 76 * 10 = 760 Example: To round 758.437 to nearest 1/100th 1) 758.437 / 1/100 = 75843.7 2) 75843.7 + .5 = 75844.2 3) int(75844.2) = 75844 4) 75844 * 1/100 = 758.44 Example: To round -758.437 to nearest 1/100th 1) -758.437 / 1/100 = -75843.7 2) -75843.7 - .5 = -75844.2 3) int(-75844.2) = -75844 4) -75844 * 1/100 = -758.44 -- Amer Neely [EMAIL PROTECTED] Softouch Information Services: www.softouch.on.ca/ Perl / PHP / CGI programming for shopping carts, data entry forms.
