On my Unix (SG) version of Mathematica I get this strange behaviour: In[25]:= Round[3/2] Out[25]= 2 In[26]:= Round[1/2] Out[26]= 0 In[27]:= Round[1.5] Out[27]= 1 In[28]:= Round[N[3/2]] Out[28]= 1 The book says "Round rounds numbers of the form x.5 towards 0." Well, sometimes, it appears. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
