rounding floats to a number of bits - Skaperen - Sep-12-2019
the round() function works on rounding to a number of decimal digits. is there a way to round a float to a number of bits?

>>> round(3.567, 2) # the second para is number of bits round 3.57 >>> round(3.56784, 4) 3.5678 # care with round >>> round(3.5) 4 >>> round(4.5) 4

my documentation (for version 3.7.4) says that the 2nd argument of round() is the number of decimal digits (e.g. a reciprocal of a power of 10.0). but, i want bits (e.g a reciprocal of a power of 2.0).
