# roundsd > Round a numeric value to the nearest number with `n` significant figures.
## Usage ```javascript var roundsd = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundsd' ); ``` #### roundsd( x, n\[, b] ) Rounds a `numeric` value to the nearest `number` with `n` significant figures. ```javascript var v = roundsd( 3.141592653589793, 3 ); // returns 3.14 v = roundsd( 3.141592653589793, 1 ); // returns 3.0 v = roundsd( 12368.0, 2 ); // returns 12000.0 ``` The default base is `10` (decimal). To round using a different base, provide a third argument. ```javascript var v = roundsd( 0.0313, 2, 2 ); // returns 0.03125 ```
## Examples ```javascript var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var roundsd = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundsd' ); var x; var y; var i; for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) { x = (randu()*10000.0) - 5000.0; y = roundsd( x, 5 ); console.log( 'x: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, y ); } ```
