value to the nearest number
with n
significant figures.
var v = roundsd( 3.141592653589793, 3 );
// returns 3.14
v = roundsd( 3.141592653589793, 1 );

var v = roundsd( 0.0313, 2, 2 );
// returns 0.03125
Examples
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 );
