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.
