Show/hideNotes on rounding

Rounded toward zero, independently of the current rounding mode. This is because the C standard requires implicit conversions to integers to round this way, so it is convenient not to have to change the rounding mode to do so. Each function has a corresponding function with _r on the end of its name, that performs the same operation but rounds according to the current mode.
