Kotlin round()

The round() function in Kotlin’s math package rounds a given number to the nearest integer. If the number is equidistant between two integers, it rounds to the integer that is even.

Syntax

round(a)

• a: the number (either Double or Float) to be rounded

The round() function returns the rounded number.

Example

This example uses the round() function to determine the rounded value of each number in a list:

import kotlin.math.round

fun main() {
  val numbers = listOf(5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6)
  for (number in numbers) {
    val roundedNumber = round(number)
    println("$number rounded is: $roundedNumber")
  }
}

Note: The numbers 5.5 and 6.5 are equidistant between neighboring integers. Since 6 is even, the round() function returns 6.0 for both 5.5 and 6.5.

The output of this code will be:

5.4 rounded is: 5.0
5.5 rounded is: 6.0
5.6 rounded is: 6.0
6.4 rounded is: 6.0
6.5 rounded is: 6.0
6.6 rounded is: 7.0
