Next: Accessing the Floating Point Up: Floating Point Rounding Mode Previous: Floating Point Rounding Mode   Contents   Index

Warning:

Although the rounding mode can be changed withset-floating-point-modes, use of any value other than the default (:nearest) can cause unusual behavior, since it will affect rounding done by Common Lisp system code as well as rounding in user code. In particular, the unary round function will stop doing round-to-nearest on floats, and instead do the selected form of rounding.
