Setting Precision and Rounding Method in RWMoneyCalculator

To set the stage: what’s this “precision” thing? Well, it basically means how many decimal places should be included in the final result. For example, if you set a precision of 2, your numbers will only show up to two decimal points (like $10.50 instead of $10.503). If you want more or fewer decimal points, just adjust that number accordingly!

Now rounding methods. This is where things get interesting! RWMoneyCalculator offers a few different options for how to handle those ***** numbers with lots of digits after the decimal point:

1) Round up: If there are any non-zero digits to the right of your specified precision, this method will add one to that digit and then truncate anything beyond it. For example, if you set a precision of 2 and have $34.56789, rounding up would give you $34.57 (because the third decimal place is greater than 5).

2) Round down: This method simply removes any digits to the right of your specified precision. So if we use our previous example with a precision of 2 and $34.56789, rounding down would give you $34.56 (because anything beyond the second decimal place is ignored).

3) Plain: This method compares the digit to the right of your specified precision to a comparison digit (which defaults to 5), and then increments that digit if it’s greater than or equal to the comparison digit. If not, nothing happens! For example, let’s say you set a precision of 2 with a comparison digit of 3. Using our previous example with $34.56789, plain rounding would give you $34.57 (because the third decimal place is equal to or greater than 3).

4) Bankers: This method works just like plain rounding, but with a twist! If there’s a tie (meaning that the digit to the right of your specified precision is exactly equal to your comparison digit), bankers rounding will increment that digit if it’s an even number. Otherwise, nothing happens! For example, let’s say you set a precision of 2 with a comparison digit of 5 and have $34.56789. Using our previous example with plain rounding would give you $34.57 (because the third decimal place is equal to or greater than 5). But using bankers rounding, that same number would be rounded down to $34.56 because the third decimal place is an odd number!

And finally, there’s no rounding at all this method simply ignores your specified precision and gives you the exact result without any adjustments.

So which one should you choose? Well, that depends on what kind of calculations you’re doing and how much accuracy you need. If you’re working with large numbers or dealing with currency conversions, rounding up or down might be your best bet to avoid getting bogged down by too many decimal places. But if you want more precision (or less), adjust that number accordingly! And remember: no matter which method you choose, always double-check your results to make sure they’re accurate and error-free.
