How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Private by default

Inputs and results stay in this browser tab. Bookify does not upload or store the values you enter.

Formula and method

((isInteger(2 * number) and not (isInteger(number))) ? ceilExact(number) : (sign(number) * floorExact(abs(number) + 0.5))) : ((isInteger(2 * number) and not (isInteger(number))) ? floorExact(number) : (sign(number) * floorExact(abs(number) + 0.5))))))))))

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Select among all nine direction and tie rules by showing the advanced modes.
  • Decimal input is rounded directly; exact half-integers use the selected tie rule. The original positive upper input limit remains active.

Common questions

What does this calculate?

Select among all nine direction and tie rules by showing the advanced modes.

Can I solve backwards?

The captured output is forward only. Enter independent values; clearing or resetting preserves the selected controls.

References

Replace binary Number rounding helpers with exact decimal floor, ceiling and exact half detection for all nine captured modes. Retain the captured upper bound and require magnitude below 10^50, preventing loss of fractional information at integer boundaries.
