| result | `Double</api/data_types/double>` | The rounded *value*. Although result is typed as a `Double</api/data_types/double>`, it actually contains an integer value. |
| value  | `Double</api/data_types/double>` | The value you want to <span class="title-ref">round</span>.                                                                 |

## Notes

The result of this function is a `Double</api/data_types/double>`, but it will always contain a whole number.

The method used to <span class="title-ref">Round</span> is chosen by the operating system and the results may vary from platform to platform when the number to be rounded is exactly halfway between two whole numbers.

## Sample code

This example uses the <span class="title-ref">Round</span> function to return a rounded number

``` xojo
Var d As Double
d = Round(1.499) ' returns 1
d = Round(1.500) ' returns 2
```
