c++ rounding of numbers away from zero
inline double myround(double x)
{
return x < 0 ? floor(x) : ceil(x);
}
As mentioned in the article Huppie cites, this is best expressed as a template that works across all float types
See http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/floor and http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/floor
or, thanks to Pax, a non-function version:
x = (x < 0) ? floor(x) : ceil(x);
There is a nice article about a similar problem on CPlusPlus.com. The easy solution to your problem should be something like this:
double customRound( double value ) const {
return value < 0 ? floor( value ) : ceil( value );
}
A better solution is the one mentioned in the article, which uses a template:
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------
// symmetric round up
// Bias: away from zero
template <typename FloatType>
FloatType ceil0( const FloatType& value )
{
FloatType result = std::ceil( std::fabs( value ) );
return (value < 0.0) ? -result : result;
}
