 Explaination of rounding


Since Delphi's Round() function uses "bankers rounding" where the value is rounded to the nearest even number, how can I round a floating point number using the more traditional means, where fractional values less than .5 round down, and fractional values of .5 and greater round up?   

    The following function demonstrates rounding down numbers with fractional values of less than .5, and rounding up numbers with fractional values of .5 and greater. Example:

    function RoundUp(X: Extended): Extended;
    begin
      Result := Trunc(X) + Trunc (Frac(X) * 2);
    end;
