Arggh Golang does not include a round function in the standard math package. So I wrote a quick one.

round.go

package main

import (
	"log"
	"math"
)

func Round(val float64, roundOn float64, places int ) (newVal float64) {
	var round float64
	pow := math.Pow(10, float64(places))
	digit := pow * val
	_, div := math.Modf(digit)
	if div >= roundOn {
		round = math.Ceil(digit)
	} else {
		round = math.Floor(digit)
	}
	newVal = round / pow
	return
}

func main() {
	log.Println(Round(123.555555, .5, 3))
	log.Println(Round(123.558, .5, 2))
}

And here is the link for the playground http://play.golang.org/p/yjfShH_uEy

YOU ARE AWESOME. Thank you thank you thank you thank you. Thank you.

I think this does not work properly for negative values.

I think that my fork solves that issue.

The solution is way overcomplicated.

IMHO for simple round function it's better to use the straightforward solution:

func Round(f float64) float64 {
    return math.Floor(f + .5)
}

Want to round to a specific precision?

func RoundPlus(f float64, places int) (float64) {
    shift := math.Pow(10, float64(places))
    return Round(f * shift) / shift;    
}

Want to specify the roundOn value?
I'll leave it as an exercise for you.

Here is a goplay

I agree with solution by @korya. Thanks to everyone, though.

Without the math package:

func round(v float64, decimals int) float64 {
     var pow float64 = 1
     for i:=0; i<decimals; i++ {
         pow *= 10
     }
     return float64(int((v * pow) + 0.5)) / pow
}

I think the solution from @korya doesn't work for negative numbers. This one should do:

func(a float64) float64 {
    if a < 0 {
        return math.Ceil(a - 0.5)
    }
    return math.Floor(a + 0.5)
}

Thanks @DavidVaini
but the result is not the same as prevailing GUN c rint, e.g,

rint(1.5) -> 2
rint(2.5) -> 2

but we will get 2 and 3 with yours with roundOn = 0.5 and places = 0.

you can see the reference here http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Rounding.html

I just write a simple one here: https://gist.github.com/siddontang/1806573b9a8574989ccb

Note: this implementation fails for Round(-3.333, 0.5, 2) -- expected -3.33, got -3.34

Simple \sgn(y) \left\lfloor \left| y \right| + 0.5 \right\rfloor would be enough.

After reading through many different and untested solutions, I decided to put together a package with implementations of ToEven (used in .Net, Python 3) rounding and AwayFromZero (used in Python 2) rounding.

It includes unit tests that demonstrate the expected behaviour of the implementation, and a comparison test with Python and a rough benchmark.

See https://github.com/a-h/round

Happy to take a pull request for ToPositiveInfinity (used by Java) and ToNegativeInfinity rounding if anyone cares about them.

hi guys, I never saw these comments until just now. The implementation was old and was something quick and dirty. Thus the code is in a gist snippet and not a repo. This worked for my case which was positive integers, but note it will fail with negative numbers. It looks like people have other implementations though they don't account for what decimal place you want to round on or what value you want to round on (.5 vs .9 or other use cases.
