Yes, I agree with David that this looks like an error. However, for fun, one might ask: what is the fewest number of R elementary math operations that would produce such a result -- this might be good for clever 6th or 7th graders, for example.
For here, I leave this as an exercise for the reader. -- Bert On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 12:42 PM, David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net>wrote: > > On Nov 1, 2011, at 1:07 PM, Wendy wrote: > > Hi all, >> >> I have a list of numbers, e.g., X = c(60593.23, 71631.17, 75320.1), and >> want >> to round them so the output is Y = c(60000, 80000, 80000). >> > > Under what notion of "rounding" would that be the result? > > I tried >> Y<-round(X,-4), but it gives me Y = c(60000, 70000, 80000).
