The [_ROUND](_ROUND) function rounds to the closest even [INTEGER](INTEGER), [LONG](LONG) or [_INTEGER64](_INTEGER64) numerical value.

## Syntax

> value = [_ROUND](_ROUND)(number)

## Description

* Can round [SINGLE](SINGLE), [DOUBLE](DOUBLE) or [_FLOAT](_FLOAT) floating decimal point parameter values.
* Can be used when numerical values exceed the limits of [CINT](CINT) or [CLNG](CLNG).
* Rounding is done to the closest even [INTEGER](INTEGER) value. The same as QBasic does with [\](\).

## Example(s)

Displays how QB64 rounds to the closest even integer value.
