Summary

Function: integer llRound( float val );

Returns the integer that val is closest to.

• float val Any valid float value

If the absolute value of the tenths position is 4 or less, val is rounded off; otherwise, val is rounded towards positive infinity.

Caveats

  • The returned value is -2147483648 (0x80000000) if the arithmetic result is outside of the range of valid integers (-2147483648 to 2147483647 inclusive).

      llSay(0,  "The rounded value of 4.5 is: "+(string)llRound(4.5) );
