Gilles commented on NUMBERS-43:
-------------------------------

bq. we might want to round of numbers at certain lengths

Methods that round a {{double}} value will still be available:
{code:java}
public static double round(double x, int scale, int roundingMethod) { /* ... */ }
{code}

Which kind of applications would require the {{float}} version rather than the {{double}} one?

> In class {{Precision}}, there are methods for rounding {{float}} values, e.g.
> {code:java}
> public static float round(float x, int scale, int roundingMethod) { /* ... */ }
> {code}
> Is there any use for supporting specific handling of floats (in these times where memory is not a scarce resources anymore)?
