Python 3.x rounding behavior

Question

I was just re-reading What’s New In Python 3.0 and it states:

The round() function rounding strategy and return type have changed. Exact halfway cas

Answer 1

Try this code:

def roundup(input):   
   demo = input  if str(input)[-1] != "5" else str(input).replace("5","6")
   place = len(demo.split(".")[1])-1
   return(round(float(demo),place))

The result will be:

>>> x = roundup(2.5)
>>> x
3.0  
>>> x = roundup(2.05)
>>> x
2.1 
>>> x = roundup(2.005)
>>> x
2.01
