Numeric #round, #floor, #ceil methods with precision * Doc: * Gem: * Repo: * Email: Joel Parker Henderson, ## Introduction Simple numeric rounding methods like #round, #floor, #ceil with various precisions. For docs go to Want to help? We're happy to get pull requests. ## Install quickstart Install: gem install sixarm_ruby_numeric_round Bundler: gem "sixarm_ruby_numeric_round", "~>1.0.0" Require: require "sixarm_ruby_numeric_round" ## Install with security (optional) To enable high security for all our gems: wget http://sixarm.com/sixarm.pem gem cert --add sixarm.pem gem sources --add http://sixarm.com To install with high security: gem install sixarm_ruby_numeric_round --test --trust-policy HighSecurity ## Examples Round at a given decimal point: 4.555.ceil_at(1) #=> 4.6 4.555.floor_at(1) #=> 4.5 4.555.round_at(1) #=> 4.6 4.555.truncate_at(1) #=> 4.5 Round to a given precision: 4.555.ceil_to(0.1) #=> 4.6 4.555.floor_to(0.1) #=> 4.5 4.555.round_to(0.1) #=> 4.6 4.555.truncate_to(0.1) #=> 4.5 Conceptually, the methods for round, floor, ceil, and truncate will typically be for floating point numbers. However, these methods can actually be for pretty much any Numeric object. For example, one could round an Integer to the nearest kilo. ## Credit These methods are based on the Facets library for Ruby and the developer named Trans. The #round_at and #round_to methods are exact copies and fully compatible with Facets. The rest of the methods are very similar code and fully co-existant with Facets. We're asking the Facets team to consider including the rest of the methods. ## Changes * 2012-09-01 1.0.1 Add #truncate_at and #truncate_to. * 2012-05-30 1.0.0 Create baesd on Facets methods by Trans. ## License You may choose any of these open source licenses: * Apache License * BSD License * CreativeCommons License, Non-commercial Share Alike * GNU General Public License Version 2 (GPL 2) * GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) * MIT License * Perl Artistic License * Ruby License The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement.
