# truncb
> Round a numeric value to the nearest multiple of b^n toward zero.
<section class="usage">
## Usage
```javascript
var truncb = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/truncb' );
```
#### truncb( x, n, b )
Rounds a `numeric` value to the nearest multiple of `b^n` toward zero.
```javascript
// Round a value to 4 decimal places:
var v = truncb( 3.141592653589793, -4, 10 );
// returns 3.1415
// If n = 0 or b = 1, `truncb` behaves like `trunc`:
v = truncb( 3.141592653589793, 0, 2 );
// returns 3.0
// Round a value to the nearest multiple of two toward zero:
v = truncb( 5.0, 1, 2 );
// returns 4.0
```

## Notes
- Due to rounding error in [floating-point numbers][ieee754], rounding may **not** be exact.

## Examples
<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->
```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var pow = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/pow' );
var truncb = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/truncb' );
var x;
var n;
var b;
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
n = round( (randu()*10.0) - 5.0 );
b = round( randu()*10.0 );
v = truncb( x, n, b );
console.log( 'x: %d. %d^%d: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, b, n, pow( b, n ), v );
}
