### 1.51 `round`, `roundf`—round to integer, to nearest

Synopsis

    #include <math.h>
    double round(double x);
    float roundf(float x);

Description
The `round` functions round their argument to the nearest integer value in floating-point format, rounding halfway cases away from zero, regardless of the current rounding direction. (While the "inexact" floating-point exception behavior is unspecified by the C standard, the `round` functions are written so that "inexact" is not raised if the result does not equal the argument, which behavior is as recommended by IEEE 754 for its related functions.)

Returns
x rounded to an integral value.

Portability
ANSI C, POSIX
