Answer / learner

Round function rounds to nearest point according to given
significant limit.

EX1 round(84.55 , .1) in this case the significant limit
given by you is .1. so it will round upto one decimal value
(aa.a). Since the value is .55 it returns .6 . then the
output is 84.6(84+.5+.1)

Ex2 round(92.64, .1) the value that is need to be rounded
is .04 and less than half of significant value it returns
0. so total valu is 92+.6+.0=92.6

I hope it will help you
