[issue4707] round(25, 1) should return an integer, not a float

Guido van Rossum added the comment: I'm sorry, but I don't see a significant difference between $10 and $10.00. If you want to display a certain number of digits, use "%.2f" % x. And trust me, I'm not doing this for Fortran's sake. ___ Python tracker

David W. Lambert added the comment: The value of one of the arguments controls how many digits there are. Certainly if you rounded $10 to the nearest cents you'd expect $10.00. Thus round(10,2) should be 10.00. Without using decimal module, the best we can do is produce 10.0. I'd apply a si

Guido van Rossum added the comment: Well, that would leave a function whose return *type* depends on the *value* of one of the arguments, which I find very ugly. I don't know why you think rounding an int to X (X>0) digits after the decimal point should return a float -- it's not like the int h

David W. Lambert added the comment: I'd prefer round(x,positive_integer) return float. Returning int is a bit of a lie, except that the decimal module is available to avoid this sort of lie. For non-positive integer roundings I'd like an integer return. In my opinion, we'd benefit from this
