lround(3) Library Functions Manuallround(3)lround, lroundf, lroundl, llround, llroundf, llroundl - round to nearest integer
Math library (libm,-lm)
#include <math.h>long lround(doublex);long lroundf(floatx);long lroundl(long doublex);long long llround(doublex);long long llroundf(floatx);long long llroundl(long doublex); Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (seefeature_test_macros(7)): All functions shown above: _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
These functions round their argument to the nearest integer value, rounding halfway cases away from zero, regardless of the current rounding direction (seefenv(3)). Note that unlike theround(3) andceil(3), functions, the return type of these functions differs from that of their arguments.
These functions return the rounded integer value. Ifx is a NaN or an infinity, or the rounded value is too large to be stored in along (long long in the case of thell*functions), then a domain error occurs, and the return value is unspecified.
Seemath_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions. The following errors can occur: Domain error:x is a NaN or infinite, or the rounded value is too large An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised. These functions do not seterrno.
