I'm sticking to the logic; add more fluff if you Must. You're a Crank.. didja Know? and I gotta get back to handicapping the bets on the Fall of the West-est Fucked-Country debacle. Ombudsman .... Ombudsman! call Referee this Tempest in a nano-Tea Pot Dome Scandal du another jour. Less'n ya gots something Better to do. P.S. This is Still: the bloody Oh Pun! Forum, you fractious-Finn (an'Haddie, was that The Fish?)

Mighta known you'd want the LONG-form, wherever your opinion is not tacitly agreed-to, ;^> 0) I didn't contrive this quip, 'twas via an accidental notice in a linked er, Tweet, is it? 1) This was in the Humor slot. 2) Readers (here) are by-definition aware of "rounding"-as-in-Duh. 2a) WHETHER to "round-up/down" (as is so appropriate in most.. but not all) ordinary cases? OR 2b) Treat the code as expandable, a. ? ~~Paean to its random-infinite series? ... a matter which most 𝛑 users likely, rarely ponder. But I do. Math is ALL ABOUT the PUNCTILIOUS, had you noticed? Recall when you forgot that ..and your paper did not have an 'A' on it? In any event: it DOES call for a Consideration=DECISION of the Author/not moi, as to which audience his opus was aimed-at. Further, as anyone who has ever bit-twiddled digital math Knoze: there ARE cases where you do Not want to ROUND, depending on the LOGIC of that program-snip. (Big/Little-Endians anyone? for sample-arcanery.) ..and is it not the POINT of those [n+∞] Math-based Puzzles: to force you to thimk/sic/ with precision somewhat-Beyond ... your mundane, rote Habits, Bunkie? You want me to say that ... most times you Round. Likely true, that "opinion". And I demur, because it is a --> MATHEMATICAL decision. It seems that the Author agrees with moi. En fin: TO ROUND or NOT-TO-ROUND, in MATH: bloody-well-DEPENDS. Carrion Will be 'ere (most of) all week.

Since you, Ash, have previously demonstrated knowledge of the correct spelling of "Finn"(), I'm choosing to interpret it as a (well-deserved) dig at the Grand Moff. --- (): Not that I am one.

If you actually prefer the blended barf we have here over Glenfiddich, then you simply don't know how to drink properly. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.
