One method, more obscure than most, is to alternate direction when rounding a number with 0.5 fractional part. All others are rounded to the closest integer. Whenever the fractional part is 0.5, alternate rounding up or down: for the first occurrence of a 0.5 fractional part, round up, for the second occurrence, round down, and so on.
Shifting the second operand into position, as , gives it a fourth digit after the binary point. This creates the need to add an extra digit to the first operand—a guard digit—putting the subtraction into the form 2 1 × 0.1000 2 − 2 1 × 0.0111 2 {\displaystyle 2^{1}\times 0.1000_{2}-2^{1}\times 0.0111_{2}} .
In decimal notation, a number ending in the digit "5" is also considered more round than one ending in another non-zero digit (but less round than any which ends with "0"). [2] [3] For example, the number 25 tends to be seen as more round than 24. Thus someone might say, upon turning 45, that their age is more round than when they turn 44 or 46.
There are two common rounding rules, round-by-chop and round-to-nearest. The IEEE standard uses round-to-nearest. Round-by-chop: The base-expansion of is truncated after the ()-th digit. This rounding rule is biased because it always moves the result toward zero.

In topology and in calculus, a round function is a scalar function, over a manifold, whose critical points form one or several connected components, each homeomorphic to the circle, also called critical loops. They are special cases of Morse-Bott functions.
