The Javascript Math.round() method is used to round a number to its nearest integer. If the fractional part of the number is greater than or equal to .5, the argument is rounded to the next higher integer. If the fractional part of the number is less than .5, the argument is rounded to the next lower integer.
Syntax:
Math.round(value);
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter as mentioned above and described below
- value: It is the number that you want to round off.

Program 1: The Math.round() method itself rounds off a negative number when passed as a parameter to it. To round off a negative number to its nearest integer, the Math.round() method should be implemented in the following way:
javascript
let round =Math.round(-5.8);console.log("Number after rounding : " + round); |
Output:
Number after rounding : -6
Program 2: Below program shows the result of the Math.round() method when the parameter has “.5” in decimal.
javascript
let round =Math.round(-12.5);console.log("Number after rounding : " + round);let round =Math.round(12.51);console.log("Number after rounding : " + round); |
Output:
Number after rounding : -12 Number after rounding : 13
