Hi again,
 
Mea culpa for not reading help pages before hand - but one would not go there when the function syntax is obvious and known .... besides other programming languages (for example IDL) with same function do not round to the next even number .... so i do get 3 for round(2.5), and i didn't realize that it is "normal" for R to give a 2 instead of 3.> Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 22:38:49 +0200> From: Achim.Zeileis@wu-wien.ac.at> To: pisicandru@hotmail.com> CC: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch> Subject: Re: [R] - round() strange behaviour> > On Thu, 2 Aug 2007, Monica Pisica wrote:> > >> > Hi,> >> > I am getting some strange results using round - it seems that it depends if the number before the decimal point is odd or even ....> >> > For example:> >> > > round(1.5)[1] 2> round(2.5)[1] 2> > While i would expect that round(2.5) be 3 and not 2.> >> > Do you have any explanation for that?> > Yes: you obviously did not read the man page!
