How do you get .10 of a character?
You looking for sympathy?
You'll find it in the dictionary, between sympathomimetic and sympatric
(Page 1788, if it helps)

If you were a bit kinder to those you work with they might not do things like that when you are away.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

There is no-one else.
I am in a bit of a unique position and various things are my responsibility that I dare not delegate.
Thankfully the Elves have done a lot for me, but what is left does require my personal attention and authorisation.

I think you may have missed the joke there.
Or maybe it just wasn't funny enough.

I assume you're correct, because you can press conference pears to make perry and that is also a media gathering.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

A very random question, but CPians' answers may possibly be useful for me...
Is there a word or a phrase describing this:
1.5 gets rounded to 1.
1.6 gets rounded to 2.
150 gets rounded to 100.
160 gets rounded to 200.
and any other similar effects...
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

Are you directing those extra pennies to your own account?
|
|
|
|
|
If only!

I am not sure what you mean by "a phrase", but there's an overload [^] for Math.Round() method to tweak this behavior.
[EDIT]
Sorry, didn't notice:

What type of application are you trying to write?

Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

I'm not able to disclose application details, but let's just say, the said behaviour already exists.
The trouble is how I would go about explaining what it's doing to the users.
Writing in the Help that "it rounds to the nearest integer" or "it rounds to the nearest 100" automatically suggests it does this:
1.4 turns into 1.
1.5 turns into 2.
1.6 turns into 2.
140 turns into 100.
150 turns into 200.
160 turns into 200.
etc. etc.
which isn't what happens.
Sure, I can explain this long hand, but I just wanted to know if there was a proper terminology to explain this.

How's this: Round to one significant digit.
|
|
|
|
|
Considering he needs 160.6 to be rounded to 200 and not 161.
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!
|
|
|
|
|
...or rounding to the most significant digit.
(I'd suggest that we call this "politicians rounding")
|
|
|
|
|
Rounding to one significant digit.
|
|
|
|
|
OK, bad example...
123 would be 120.
125 would be 120.
126 would be 130.
etc. etc.
The point not being the number of significant digits you end up with, but the fact that the rounding is happening at 5 and 6 rather than the more usual 4 and 5.

Sounds like you want to do Round Half Down + Significant then.
