Int_math.MakeDerived operations common to various integer modules.
See Int.S_common for a description of the operations derived by this module.
round rounds an int to a multiple of a given to_multiple_of argument, according to a direction dir, with default dir being `Nearest. round will raise if to_multiple_of <= 0. If the result overflows (too far positive or too far negative), round returns an incorrect result.
| `Down | rounds toward Int.neg_infinity |
| `Up | rounds toward Int.infinity |
| `Nearest | rounds to the nearest multiple, or `Up in case of a tie |
| `Zero | rounds toward zero |Here are some examples for round ~to_multiple_of:10 for each direction:
| `Down | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | { 0 ... 9} --> 0 | {-10 ... -1} --> -10 |
| `Up | { 1 .. 10} --> 10 | {-9 ... 0} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
| `Zero | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | {-9 ... 9} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
| `Nearest | { 5 .. 14} --> 10 | {-5 ... 4} --> 0 | {-15 ... -6} --> -10 |For convenience and performance, there are variants of round with dir hard-coded. If you are writing performance-critical code you should use these.
