EXAMPLE - Rounding Functions
This example demonstrates how the rounding functions work together.
Functions:
Item | Description |
|---|---|
FLOOR Function | Computes the largest integer that is not more than the input value. Input can be an Integer, a Decimal, a column reference, or an expression. |
CEILING Function | Computes the ceiling of a value, which is the smallest integer that is greater than the input value. Input can be an Integer, a Decimal, a column reference, or an expression. |
ROUND Function | Rounds input value to the nearest integer. Input can be an Integer, a Decimal, a column reference, or an expression. Optional second argument can be used to specify the number of digits to which to round. |
MOD Function | Returns the modulo value, which is the remainder of dividing the first argument by the second argument. Equivalent to the |
