Hello,
I searched a lot on this Forum.
Please help me with the below problem.
I want to divide two numbers and the result should be the next nearest whole number.
E.G. Dividing 10.8/5 ideally gives 2.16. But the result should be 3 i.e. rounded off to the next whole number.
Any help will... (2 Replies)
Hi Experts,
I have a command that gives me the output as below
root@ckpgpay11core> cat sara | awk '{ sum += $1} ; END { print sum }' | awk {'print $1/90'}
8.88889
how do i remove the decimal spaces so that the figure will round itself to 9?
Thanks. (3 Replies)
Hi,
I am trying to find if there is a way to convert regular decimal values to Paced decimal values. I tried to find a c program but I could get a Packed converted to regular decimal not the other way round.
If not unix please let me know if any other progrimming language I can use to do... (2 Replies)
Is there a way I can round time in perl to the nearest five minutes?
For example if I have log giving the following time stamps
23,52,30 it would rounded up to 23,55,00
and
23,50,01 would be rounded to 23,50,00 (3 Replies)
Hello Guys,
I'm very new on here and require some help matching up and printing some columns using awk.
I have two text files. The first file has Longitude data in column 1 (lon.txt) and the second one (node.txt) has again another Longitude data in column 1 (not exact as the first one) + in... (7 Replies)
Dear Experts,
I'm trying to find a way to round a number but in this way:
14367.577 ---> 14000
I used the following to round the number to the closer integer:
echo $var|awk '{print int($1+0.5)}'
and also:
xargs printf "%1.0f"
However, they don't work for my above... (9 Replies)
Hi all of you,
Would be great if you help me with how to round up to whole number from my input values like

I have a number, which I want to convert into the nearest floating number upto two places after the decimal point.
E.g.
1.2346 will become 1.23
but
1.2356 will become 1.24 .
Similarly
0.009 will be 0.01
and
0.001 will be 0.00 or 0.0 (not 0, wnat to keep the decimal... (1 Reply)

fabs
FLOOR(3M)FLOOR(3M)NAME
fabs, floor, ceil, rint - absolute value, floor, ceiling, and round-to-nearest functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double floor(x)
double x;
double ceil(x)
double x;
double fabs(x)
double x;
double rint(x)
double x;
DESCRIPTION
Fabs returns the absolute value |x|.
Floor returns the largest integer no greater than x.
Ceil returns the smallest integer no less than x.
Rint returns the integer (represented as a double precision number) nearest x in the direction of the prevailing rounding mode.
NOTES
On a VAX, rint(x) is equivalent to adding half to the magnitude and then rounding towards zero.
In the default rounding mode, to nearest, on a machine that conforms to IEEE 754, rint(x) is the integer nearest x with the additional
stipulation that if |rint(x)-x|=1/2 then rint(x) is even. Other rounding modes can make rint act like floor, or like ceil, or round
towards zero.
Another way to obtain an integer near x is to declare (in C)
double x; int k; k = x;
Most C compilers round x towards 0 to get the integer k, but some do otherwise. If in doubt, use floor, ceil, or rint first, whichever you
intend. Also note that, if x is larger than k can accommodate, the value of k and the presence or absence of an integer overflow are hard
to predict.
