What were you trying to do?
use the "fix" command, which should round to the nearest
integer towards 0
What's wrong:
it rounded the integer 15 to 15 (correctly), but rounded
15 with non-zeros digits in the 15+th places (the number was
like 15.0000...013427462etc.) to _14_
What should have happened:
it should have rounded that number to 15
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
just the definition in the matlab manual defining that function
it wasn't on this machine - i have had the same problem on many machines
running 386 matlab. The "floor" function, which rounds toward -infinity,
rounded that number to 14 as well.
