I run into a situation when integer result of 81 * 0.5 is 40 (expected 41) when using lrint() function.
When I use a simple +0.5 approach results are right.
The code is:
results are:
Using gcc ver 5.4.0 on Linux, running on 2 years old Xeon processor, if that matters. I checked floating point rounding defaults in compiler and it is a regular "round to the nearest integer" rule.
My question is - should I abandon rint-family functions and use +0.5 approach?
Hello again.
I'm trying to use BC to calculate some numbers in a shell script.
I want to have the numbers rounded off to 1 decimal place.
for example:
initsize=1566720
zipsize=4733
I'm trying to get the ratio between them. the equation is:
(($initsize-$zipsize)/$initsize)*100

Hi,
Can any one help me in finding a solution for rounding off to 2 decimal places.
I am using the following code:
VAR1=.01292105263157894736
VAR2=`echo "scale=2; $VAR1 * 100" | bc -l`
The result I 'm getting is
1.29210526315789473600
But I need the output as 1.29
Thanks

Hello,
i have some variables say:
x=1.4
y=3.7
I wish to round off these values to :
x = 2 (after rounding off)
y = 4 (after rounding off)
I am stuck.
Please help. (7 Replies)
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,
I am currently using tcsh
I am trying to round a decimal number to the ten-thousandths place
For instance:
1.23456 is rounded up towards 1.2346
I am not looking for truncation, but for rounding. Anyone know how to do this with awk or expr?
Thanks (2 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)

rintf
RINT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual RINT(3)NAME
rint, lrint, llrint -- round to integral value
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
rint(double x);
long double
rintl(long double x);
float
rintf(float x);
long int
lrint(double x);
long int
lrintl(long double x);
long int
lrintf(float x);
long long int
llrint(double x);
long long int
llrintl(long double x);
long long int
llrintf(float x);
DESCRIPTION
The rint() functions return the integral value nearest to x (according to the prevailing rounding mode) in floating-point format.
The lrint() and llrint() functions return the integral value nearest to x (according to the prevailing rounding mode) in the return formats
specified. If the rounded value is outside the range of the return type, the numeric result is unspecified and the "invalid" floating-point
exception is raised. A range error may occur if the magnitude of x is too large.
SPECIAL VALUES
rint(+-0) returns +-0 for all rounding modes.
rint(+-infinity) returns +-infinity for all rounding modes.
All these functions raise the "inexact" floating-point exception if the result differs in value from the argument (except when they raise
some other floating-point exception, such as "invalid").
NOTE
The rinttol() function is deprecated. Please use the C99 function lrint() instead.
SEE ALSO abs(3), fabs(3), ceil(3), floor(3), math(3)STANDARDS
The rint() , lrint() , and llrint() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:2011.
