The round Function
The round function rounds a number according to the rules
of mathematical rounding. The first parameter
accepts a number, and the second optional
parameter specifies how many digits to leave in the fractional
part. The second parameter can be either positive
or negative (in which case it specifies
how many digits to leave in the integer part).
