Nobu: but then, default will still be inconsistent. Maybe add a parameter and require libraries to supply it if they care? Then later we could change the default from :even to :closest or :biased or whatever we call the common rounding behavior. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12548: Rounding modes inconsistency between round versus sprintf https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12548#change-60182 * Author: Kieran McCusker * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: 2.3.1 * Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- Hi I've found this possible bug with sprintf in our production code, but it seems very odd that no one has reported it so I'm doubting myself. I've tested a few versions (CRuby 2.3.1 and 2.1.9) and it was present in both. To reproduce in irb: sprintf('%1.0f', 12.5) Expected result 13 actual 12 In fact if you look at the number sequence 0.5 -> 99.5 you find the even half will all round down and the odd half round up. 12.5.round produces the correct result (13) If you do the same in jruby 2.2.1 you get the expected result of 13.
