JavaScript Math.round() Example

HTML with JavaScript Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

  <p>Math.round(-5.1) = <span id="span1"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(-5.49) = <span id="span2"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(-5.50) = <span id="span3"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(-5.51) = <span id="span4"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(0) = <span id="span5"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(5.1) = <span id="span6"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(5.49) = <span id="span7"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(5.50) = <span id="span8"></span></p>
  <p>Math.round(5.51) = <span id="span9"></span></p>

  <script>
    document.getElementById("span1").innerHTML = Math.round(-5.1);
    document.getElementById("span2").innerHTML = Math.round(-5.49);
    document.getElementById("span3").innerHTML = Math.round(-5.50);
    document.getElementById("span4").innerHTML = Math.round(-5.51);
    document.getElementById("span5").innerHTML = Math.round(0);
    document.getElementById("span6").innerHTML = Math.round(5.1);
    document.getElementById("span7").innerHTML = Math.round(5.49);
    document.getElementById("span8").innerHTML = Math.round(5.50);
    document.getElementById("span9").innerHTML = Math.round(5.51);
