@end example
Note that the behavior of @code{ROUND()} when the argument
is half way between two integers depends on the C library
implementation. Some round to the nearest even number,
always up, always down, or always towards zero. If you need
one kind of rounding, you should use a well-defined function
like @code{TRUNCATE()} or @code{FLOOR()} instead.
@findex ROUND()
@item ROUND(X,D)
Returns the argument @code{X}, rounded to a number with @code{D} decimals.
