Re: [Haskell-cafe] round function

Ah, okay. I misinterpreted.. I was thinking of round, just moving the other direction from the decimal point. /g On 2/12/06, Sebastian Sylvan wrote:

I think the function you're looking for is:

myRound n places = round (n / fromIntegral factor) * factor where factor = 10 ^ (places - 1)

This gives: *Main> myRound 123123.123 2 123120

Whereas my (revised) version gives

*Main> myround 123123.123 2 120000.0

I may be wrong, but I think it's this latter result he's looking for(?).
