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

Question

Python programming challenges

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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!

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Wizking754👻 use round() for rounding, not int(). Read my answer again

Answer 5

Wizking754👻 You are casting to Integer equalent.
This is Rounding :

number=5.7
print(round(number))
