ceiling
takes a single numeric argument x
and returns a
numeric vector containing the smallest integers not less than the
corresponding elements of x
. floor
takes a single numeric argument x
and returns a
numeric vector containing the largest integers not greater than the
corresponding elements of x
.
trunc
takes a single numeric argument x
and returns a
numeric vector containing the integers formed by truncating the values in
x
toward 0
.
round
rounds the values in its first argument to the specified
number of decimal places (default 0).
signif
rounds the values in its first argument to the specified
number of significant digits.

Therefore round(0.5)
is 0
and round(-1.5)
is
-2
. However, this is dependent on OS services and on
representation error (since e.g.\ifelse{latex}{\out{~}}{ } 0.15
is not represented
exactly, the rounding rule applies to the represented number and not
to the printed number, and so round(0.15, 1)
could be either
0.1
or 0.2
).
Rounding to a negative number of digits means rounding to a power of
ten, so for example round(x, digits = -2)
rounds to the nearest
hundred.
For signif
the recognized values of digits
are
1...22
, and non-missing values are rounded to the nearest
integer in that range. Complex numbers are rounded to retain the
specified number of digits in the larger of the components. Each
element of the vector is rounded individually, unlike printing.
These are all primitive functions.
