How do you round to the nearest whole number in python?!

Answer 1

use round()

Answer 2

keorapetse Moagi , it depends what exactly is mentioned in the task description. When it says: <... rounded up to the nearest whole number>, you should use math.ceil().
this is working like this:

from math import ceil
a = 5.01
b = 5.99

print(ceil(a)) # result is 6
print(ceil(b)) # result is 6

for rounding down you can use floor()

Answer 3

# this is how round method works, mentioned by Steven Wen

import math
a = 5.4
if (a-int(a) >= 0.5):
print(math.ceil(a))
else:
print(math.floor(a))

# OR without math imported
a = 5.4
if (a-int(a) >= 0.5):
print(int(a)+1)
else:
print(int(a))

Answer 4

The built in round fuction in python does not work the same as most other programming languages.

It rounds to the closest even number, for more info see here.

What you need for normal rounding is this.

from math import floor

myRound = lambda x: floor(x + 0.5)
