Gaussian/banker's rounding in JavaScript

Question

I have been using Math.Round(myNumber, MidpointRounding.ToEven) in C# to do my server-side rounding, however, the user needs to know \'live\' what the result of

Answer 1

const isEven = (value: number) => value % 2 === 0;
const isHalf = (value: number) => {
    const epsilon = 1e-8;
    const remainder = Math.abs(value) % 1;

    return remainder > .5 - epsilon && remainder < .5 + epsilon;
};

const roundHalfToEvenShifted = (value: number, factor: number) => {
    const shifted = value * factor;
    const rounded = Math.round(shifted);
    const modifier = value < 0 ? -1 : 1;

    return !isEven(rounded) && isHalf(shifted) ? rounded - modifier : rounded;
};

const roundHalfToEven = (digits: number, unshift: boolean) => {
    const factor = 10 ** digits;

    return unshift
        ? (value: number) => roundHalfToEvenShifted(value, factor) / factor
        : (value: number) => roundHalfToEvenShifted(value, factor);
};

const roundDollarsToCents = roundHalfToEven(2, false);
const roundCurrency = roundHalfToEven(2, true);

• If you do not like the overhead of calling toFixed()
• Want to be able to supply an arbitrary scale
• Don't want to introduce floating-point errors
• Want to have readable, reusable code

roundHalfToEven is a function that generates a fixed scale rounding function. I do my currency operations on cents, rather than dollars, to avoid introducing FPEs. The unshift param exists to avoid the overhead of unshifting and shifting again for those operations.
