## round function

The `round` function rounds the value of an input expression to the specified decimal places to the right of the decimal point.

Syntax:

    double round(n [, d ])

Semantics:

- n, d: The arguments n and d are expressions that resolve to numbers. The value of d must be in the range of -30 <=d<=30. Any value of d exceeding the maximum absolute value of 30 is truncated to 30 or -30 respectively. If d is not an integer, it is cast to an integer value.

  For example, `round(123.456,1.5)` is considered `round(123.456,1)`, and `round(123.456,50)` is treated as `round(123.456,30)`.

- return type: double.
  Depending on the values of n and d, the `round` function behaves as follows:
  - If d is a positive value, the function rounds n to d places on the right of the decimal point. If the fractional part of n is 0.5 or greater, the value is rounded away from 0.

    For example, `round(0.5)` returns 1.0 and `round(-0.5)` returns -1.0.

  - If d is greater than or equal the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in n, the value of n is returned.
  - If d is not specified or zero, the function rounds n to zero decimal places.
  - If d is a negative value, the function rounds n to the left of the decimal point. If the number of digits in n to the left of the decimal point is less than or equal to the absolute value of d, then the function returns 0.0.
  - Returns zero if n is zero, regardless of the value of d (except when d is NULL).
  - Returns a NULL value in the following cases:
    - If either of the arguments is a NULL value
    - If either of the arguments does not resolve to a number
  - Returns n if either of the arguments resolves to a NaN or infinity.

Example 12-90 round function

    SELECT round(n,d) FROM Userstocks

Value of n | Value of d | Output
