HP-42S - How do I round a number?

[Thomas Okken]

Note that RND rounds the number in X to what is displayed, in whatever display mode happens to be in effect, and that makes it rather flexible. Used with FIX, you can use it to round to a certain number of digits behind the decimal, so FIX 02 RND can be used to round an amount of money to dollars and cents, while SCI 03 RND will round the number to three significant digits, regardless of its magnitude, which is useful in scientific and engineering applications.
