Round Round[ x ] gives the integer closest to x. Mathematical function (see Section A.3.10). Examples: Round[2.4] ; Round[2.6] ; Round[-2.4] ; Round[-2.6] . Round rounds numbers of the form x .5 toward the nearest even integer. Round[ x ] returns an integer when x is any numeric quantity, whether or not it is an explicit number. Example: Round[Pi^2] . For exact numeric quantities, Round internally uses numerical approximations to establish its result. See The Mathematica Book on the web:Section 1.1.3 and Section 3.2.2.
