Explicitly rounding numbers to more than 7 decimal places in C++

Here is my code:

double round( char* strNumber, int decPlace);

int main()
{
    int decimal;
         char initialNumber[256];

    cout << "Enter decimal and number " << endl;

    cin >> decimal;
    cin >> initialNumber;

    cout << setprecision (15) << round ( initialNumber,decimal ) << endl;   

return 0;
}

double round( char* strNumber, int decPlace)//
{
    double number = atof(strNumber);
    int temp = ( int ) ( pow(10.0,decPlace) * number + 0.5 );
    double result = ( double ) temp / pow(10.0,decPlace);
    return result;
}

It works up to 6 decimal places. Otherwise it gives some strange result. Below are numbers that I used for testing and the output:

Test 1-round to 7 decimal places

52.5689745694

25.6835

452.689785

12.456789877458

Output

-214.7483648

12.4567899

Test 1-round to 8 decimal places

The same numbers as previously

As others have said, the cast to int won't work with large numbers. You could consider using floor instead, and keeping the number to be rounded in a double:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>

double round( char* strNumber, int decPlace)
{
    double number = std::atof(strNumber);
    double expo = std::pow(10.0,decPlace);
    return std::floor( expo * number + 0.5) / expo;
}


int can hold a smaller range than double; on many platforms its maximum value is about 2 billion, which is less than pow(10.0,8) * number for most of your input numbers.

You could keep your number as a double and use floor to round down to an integer:

double temp = floor( pow(10.0,decPlace) * number + 0.5 );
double result = temp / pow(10.0,decPlace);


Looks to me like overflow. pow(10.0,decPlace) * number is a pretty large number - too large to fit in a 32 bit integer (which is what int probably is on your platform).


int temp = ( int ) ( pow(10.0,decPlace) * number + 0.5 );

temp is probably 32 bits. It can hold up about +- 2 billion. Overflow.
