HP Prime, HP 41C, TI-58C: Round to the Nearest 1/n


HP Prime, HP 41C, TI-58C:  Round to the Nearest 1/n

Introduction

The program RNEAR rounds a number x to the nearest 1/n.  For example, to round x to the nearest 10th, n = 10.  To round to the nearest 16th, n = 16.

HP Prime Program RNEAR

EXPORT RNEAR(x,n)
BEGIN
// round x to the nearest nth
// 2018-04-07 EWS
RETURN ROUND(FP(x)*n,0)/n+IP(x);
END;

TI-58C/TI-59 Program RNEAR

Store x into register 01
Store n into register 02
The result is stored in register 03
Minimum Registers Needed: 4 (I always leave register 00 for general use)

There is no rounding function on the TI-58C and TI-59, hence the rounding routine needs to be manually entered.

n = 10, result:  3.10 (nearest 10th)
n = 1000, result: 3.142 (nearest 1000th)
n = 16, result:  3.125 (nearest 16th)
