# roundn
> Round a complex number to the nearest multiple of `10^n`.
## Usage
```javascript
var croundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/croundn' );
```
#### croundn( \[out,] re, im, n )
Rounds a `complex` number comprised of a **real** component `re` and an **imaginary** component `im` to the nearest multiple of `10^n`.
```javascript
// Round components to 2 decimal places:
var v = croundn( -3.141592653589793, 3.141592653589793, -2 );
// returns [ -3.14, 3.14 ]
// If n = 0, `croundn` behaves like `cround`:
v = croundn( -3.141592653589793, 3.141592653589793, 0 );
// returns [ -3.0, 3.0 ]
// Round components to the nearest thousand:
v = croundn( -12368.0, 12368.0, 3 );
// returns [ -12000.0, 12000.0 ]
v = croundn( NaN, NaN, 0 );
// returns [ NaN, NaN ]
```
By default, the function returns real and imaginary components as a two-element `array`. To avoid unnecessary memory allocation, the function supports providing an output (destination) object.
```javascript
var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' );
var out = new Float32Array( 2 );
var v = croundn( out, -4.6, 5.5, 0 );
// returns [ -5.0, 6.0 ]
var bool = ( v === out );
// returns true
```
## Notes
- When operating on [floating-point numbers][ieee754] in bases other than `2`, rounding to specified digits can be **inexact**. For example,
```javascript
var x = 0.2 + 0.1;
// returns 0.30000000000000004
// Should round components to 0.3:
var v = croundn( x, x, -16 );
// returns [ 0.3000000000000001, 0.3000000000000001 ]
```
## Examples
```javascript
var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64' );
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var ceil = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ceil' );
var real = require( '@stdlib/complex/real' );
var imag = require( '@stdlib/complex/imag' );
var croundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/croundn' );
var re;
var im;
var z;
var o;
var w;
var n;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
re = ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0;
im = ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0;
z = new Complex128( re, im );
n = ceil( randu()*5.0 );
o = croundn( real(z), imag(z), -n );
w = new Complex128( o[ 0 ], o[ 1 ] );
console.log( 'roundn(%s,%s) = %s', z.toString(), n.toString(), w.toString() );
}
