FAQ

What is standard rounding?

Standard rounding (round half up) rounds up when the next digit is 5 or more, and rounds down when it's 4 or less. E.g., 3.14159 β†’ 3.14 (2 places).

What is the difference between Ceiling and Floor?

Ceiling always rounds up (toward +∞). Floor always rounds down (toward -∞). Truncate simply cuts off extra digits without rounding.

Why do rounding errors happen in computers?

Floating-point numbers in computers are binary approximations. The tool uses JavaScript's built-in types, so very small rounding artifacts may appear with extreme precision.

When would I use Ceiling vs Floor?

Ceiling is used for billing (round up minutes), while floor is used for age calculations (round down years). Truncate is used when you just need fewer digits.

What is the difference between rounding and truncating?

Rounding adjusts the last digit based on the next digit. Truncating simply removes digits without any adjustment. Example: 3.14159 truncated to 2 decimals = 3.14.
