Template:Rnd
This template is used on 200,000+ pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |

Usage
[edit source]This template rounds parameter 1 by parameter 2 decimal places (goes the other way for negative rounding) and includes trailing zeros.
- {{
rnd|54.376|2
}} gives 54.38 - {{
rnd|54.376|-1
}} gives 50 - {{
rnd|68.4273E12|-10
}} gives 6.843×1013
- {{
For example, rounding by 1 gives 1 decimal digit, rounding by 0 gives integers, or rounding by -2 gives the amount in hundreds. Scientific notation is displayed for numbers greater than or equal to 1×10Template:Val/delimitnum, or less than 1×10Template:Val/delimitnum.
Examples:
- {{
rnd|2.0004|3
}} gives 2.000- whereas {{
#expr:2.0004 round 3
}} gives 2
- whereas {{
- {{
rnd|0.000020004|7
}} gives 000 - {{
rnd|0|8
}} gives 0.00000000 - {{
rnd|154268|-3
}} gives 154,000 - {{
rnd|154568|-3
}} gives 155,000 - Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Template invocation' not found.

Internal details
[edit source]The markup-based version of Template:rnd uses three subtemplates:
- {{rnd/-}} — for trailing zeros
- {{rnd/e+}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than or equal to 109 or less than or equal to −109
- {{rnd/e−}} — for scientific notation for numbers greater than −10−4 and less than 10−4 but not equal to zero
The Lua-based version of {{rnd}} uses Module:Math and always has an expansion depth of 3. However, the markup-based version has an expansion depth of 9–15, which depends on the size of the numbers (integer results use depth 9, decimals use depth 12), where astronomical numbers can hit expansion depth of 15 levels, for {{rnd|56.44e33|-32}} → 5.64 × 1034.
TemplateData
[edit source]TemplateData for Rnd
Rounds (parameter 1) by (parameter 2) decimal places, and formats. Scientific notation is used for numbers greater than 1×10^9, or less than 1×10^−4.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
number | 1 | The number to be rounded | Number | required |
decimal places | 2 | The number of decimal places, if negative the number is rounded so the last (parameter 2) digits are zero | Number | required |
