truncsd
Round a numeric value to the nearest number toward zero with
n
significant figures.
Usage
var truncsd = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/truncsd' );
truncsd( x, n[, b] )
Rounds a numeric
value to the nearest number
toward zero with n
significant figures.
var v = truncsd( 3.141592653589793, 5 );
// returns 3.1415
v = truncsd( 3.141592653589793, 1 );
// returns 3.0
v = truncsd( 12368.0, 2 );
// returns 12000.0
The default base is 10
(decimal). To round using a different base, provide a third argument.
var v = truncsd( 0.0313, 2, 2 );
// returns 0.03125
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var truncsd = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/truncsd' );
var x;
var y;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = (randu()*10000.0) - 5000.0;
y = truncsd( x, 5 );
console.log( 'x: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, y );
