## ROUND Round Function

Section: Elementary Functions

### Usage

Rounds an n-dimensional array to the nearest integer elementwise. The general syntax for its use is

       y = round(x)

where `x` is a multidimensional array of numerical type. The `round` function preserves the type of the argument. So integer arguments are not modified, and `float` arrays return `float` arrays as outputs, and similarly for `double` arrays. The `round` function is not defined for `complex` or `dcomplex` types.

### Example

The following demonstrates the `round` function applied to various (numerical) arguments. For integer arguments, the round function has no effect:

    --> round(3)

    ans =

     3

    --> round(-3)

    ans =

     -3

Next, we take the `round` of a floating point value:

    --> round(3.023f)

    ans =

     3

    --> round(-2.341f)

    ans =

     -2

Note that the return type is a `float` also. Finally, for a `double` type:

    --> round(4.312)

    ans =

     4

    --> round(-5.32)

    ans =

     -5
