Is there any way to round numbers in C?

I do not want to use ceil and floor. Is there any other alternative?

I came across this code snippet when I Googled for the answer:

(int)(num < 0 ? (num - 0.5) : (num + 0.5))

The above line always prints the value as 4 even when float num =4.9.

Please suggest a solution.

How can i format a Double to String in c# so as to have only two decimal digits? If I use String.Format("{0:0.00}%", myDoubleValue) the number is rounded, and i want a simple truncate without rounding. Also, I want the conversion to String to be culture sensitive. >>> More

I've seen the following (bizarre) Javascript rounding function in some legacy code. After googling for it I can see that it crops up in a number of places online. However I can't work out why the hard-coded values 8191 and 10485 are present. Does anyone know if there's any sensible reason why these… >>> More
