Round a decimal, to the Power's of 10. Up and Down

Based on code from Dreamora, this rounds a number to a given number of decimal places :

Code (glbasic) Select
DEBUG "Round : "+round(10.34,1)+"\n"
END

FUNCTION roundToDP:number,dp%
LOCAL t
LOCAL result

t=POW(10,dp%)
result=INTEGER(number*t+0.5*SGN(number))
RETURN (result/t)
ENDFUNCTION

Thanks Toad, your function rounds the numbers up, like bankers math.
If last number is >=0.5 it adds 0.5.
I think that is called bankers rounding or something..it has alot of names actually.
Im not positive, but it might be called ceiling() in C++?

Almost like your function, this function rounds down ( floor() in C++ ? ),
it truncuates the number to the power of 10, and doesnt round up:
Code (glbasic) Select


FUNCTION DecimalPower: Real_Number, Decimal_Power
//Round Down, a Decimal Number, to the nearest power of 10.
// The Decimal Power must be a power of 10, ie: 1 2 3 4 etc

RETURN INTEGER( Real_Number * POW( 10, Decimal_Power ) ) / POW( 10, Decimal_Power )

ENDFUNCTION







And here is a sample project that shows both functions in action:
