Attributes 'Rounding
__TOC__
Description
X'Rounding(Y) is an Ada attribute where X is any floating-point type and Y is any instance of that type. This attribute represents the closest integer value to Y. If Y is exactly between two integer values (e.g. 1.5), then the result is the number farthest away from zero (e.g. 1.5 => 2.0, -1.5 => -2.0).
Example
W : Float := -1.5;
X : Float := 1.5;
Y : Float := 1.0;
Z : Float := 1.999;
...
Assert (Float'Rounding(W) = -2.0); OK
Assert (Float'Rounding(X) = 2.0); OK
Assert (Float'Rounding(Y) = 1.0); OK
Assert (Float'Rounding(Z) = 2.0); OK
Assert (Float'Rounding(W) = -1.0); Wrong
Assert (Float'Rounding(X) = 1.0); Wrong
