~~That causes 1.3 to be rounded to 2.0. I don't believe that's what the poster wanted.~~ Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

No, it does not. I ran `$r = 1.3; print $r,"\n"; $rounded=sprintf ("%.1f",$r+.05); print $rounded,"\n";` [download] and got `perl -w round.pl 1.3 1.4` [download] Did you miss a 0 after the decimal? or is there some other behaviour I a missing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you look a bit further, `1.4 + 0.05` prints as 1.4, not 1.5	[reply] [d/l]

Argh. Sorry, was in a hurry and read to carelessly and then didn't notice the extra 0 even after tripplechecking - I didn't think anyone could be that stupid. Turns out my instinct was right, and you were too. Sorry again. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
