Rounding Question

[Samuel]

The first line of code produces the value of 1.92 while the second 1.18

WHY???



Dim d As Double = Math.Round(1.925, 2)

Dim d1 As Double = Math.Round(1.175, 2)

 

[Jack Jackson]

The first line of code produces the value of 1.92 while the second 1.18

WHY???



Dim d As Double = Math.Round(1.925, 2)

Dim d1 As Double = Math.Round(1.175, 2)

Because the digit before the 5 in 1.925 is even, and the digit before
the 5 in 1.175 is odd.

See the Remarks section of the Math.Round documentation for details,
and for ways to control what kind of rounding is done.
