jax.numpy.around

jax.numpy.around(a, decimals=0, out=None)

Evenly round to the given number of decimals.

LAX-backend implementation of around().

Original docstring below.

Parameters

  • a (array_like) – Input data.

  • decimals (int, optional) – Number of decimal places to round to (default: 0). If decimals is negative, it specifies the number of positions to the left of the decimal point.

  • out (ndarray, optional) – Alternative output array in which to place the result. It must have the same shape as the expected output, but the type of the output values will be cast if necessary. See ufuncs-output-type for more details.

Returns

rounded_array – An array of the same type as a, containing the rounded values. Unless out was specified, a new array is created. A reference to the result is returned.

The real and imaginary parts of complex numbers are rounded separately. The result of rounding a float is a float.

Return type

ndarray
