Why does floats in python round always result to a rounded down figure even if the digit before the decimal point is (>=5)

Wizking754👻 this is usually working of each programming language, if you convert it to an integer in this way, the digits after decimal point will be cutted off: number=5.7 print(int(number)) # >> 5

Wizking754, Your statement is not correct: print(round(3.14)) gives 3 print(round(3.77)) gives 4 May be you should share your code that creates your result here. Thanks!

It doesn't. The round() function returns a floating point number that is a rounded version of the specified number, with the specified number of decimals. Maybe you mean int(). That is casting, not rounding. Use round(f) if you want the nearest integer to f

Wizking754👻 You are casting to Integer equalent. This is Rounding : number=5.7 print(round(number))

Benjamin Jürgens rather than getting 6 it still results to 5. Hope my question is understood Lothar Jayakrishna🇮🇳 https://code.sololearn.com/c3t2A7rHzMo9/?ref=app
