## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var roundb = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundb' );
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### roundb( x, n, b )
|
||
|
|
||
|
Rounds a `numeric` value to the nearest multiple of `b^n` on a linear scale.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
// Round a value to 2 decimal places:
|
||
|
var v = roundb( 3.141592653589793, -2, 10 );
|
||
|
// returns 3.14
|
||
|
|
||
|
// If n = 0 or b = 1, `roundb` behaves like `round`:
|
||
|
v = roundb( 3.141592653589793, 0, 2 );
|
||
|
// returns 3.0
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Round a value to the nearest multiple of two:
|
||
|
v = roundb( 5.0, 1, 2 );
|
||
|
// returns 6.0
|
||
|
```

## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Due to rounding error in [floating-point numbers][ieee754], rounding may **not** be exact. For example,
|
||
|
|
||
|
```javascript
|
||
|
var x = 0.2 + 0.1;
|
||
|
// returns 0.30000000000000004
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Should round to 0.3...
|
||
|
var v = roundb( x, -16, 10 );
|
||
|
// returns 0.3000000000000001
|
||
|
```
