roundeven, roundevenf, roundevenl

Defined in header `<math.h>`
float roundevenf( float arg );	(1)	(since C23)
double roundeven( double arg );	(2)	(since C23)
long double roundevenl( long double arg );	(3)	(since C23)
Defined in header `<tgmath.h>`
#define roundeven( arg )	(4)	(since C23)

1-3) Computes the nearest integer value to arg (in floating-point format), rounding halfway cases to nearest even integer, regardless of the current rounding mode.

4) Type-generic macro: If arg has type long double, roundevenl is called. Otherwise, if arg has integer type or the type double, roundeven is called. Otherwise, roundevenf is called, respectively.

Parameters

arg

floating point value

Return value

If no errors occur, the nearest integer value to arg, rounding halfway cases to nearest even integer, is returned.

Error handling

This function is not subject to any of the errors specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

FE_INEXACT is never raised
If arg is ±∞, it is returned, unmodified
If arg is ±0, it is returned, unmodified
If arg is NaN, NaN is returned

Example

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("roundeven(+2.4) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(2.4));
    printf("roundeven(-2.4) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(-2.4));
    printf("roundeven(+2.5) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(2.5));
    printf("roundeven(-2.5) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(-2.5));
    printf("roundeven(+2.6) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(2.6));
    printf("roundeven(-2.6) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(-2.6));
    printf("roundeven(+3.5) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(3.5));
    printf("roundeven(-3.5) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(-3.5));
    printf("roundeven(-0.0) = %+.1f\n", roundeven(-0.0));
    printf("roundeven(-Inf) = %+f\n",   roundeven(-INFINITY));
}

Possible output:

roundeven(+2.4) = +2.0
roundeven(-2.4) = -2.0
roundeven(+2.5) = +2.0
roundeven(-2.5) = -2.0
roundeven(+2.6) = +3.0
roundeven(-2.6) = -3.0
roundeven(+3.5) = +4.0
roundeven(-3.5) = -4.0
roundeven(-0.0) = -0.0
roundeven(-Inf) = -inf
