Advanced ActionScript Rounding Functions

Everyone knows about and uses Math.round(), Math.ceil(), and Math.floor(). They’re great, but what if you don’t want to round to the nearest whole number? For instance, you might want to round to the nearest even number, or even a fractional value like the nearest tenth. The following functions make rounding in ActionScript 3 a lot more robust:

package com.joshtynjala.utils
{

/**
 * Utility functions for the manipulation of numbers.
 */
public class MathUtils
{
	/**
	 * Rounds a target number to the nearest multiple of another number.
	 * @see Math#round
	 */
	public static function roundToNearest(numberToRound:Number, nearest:Number):Number
	{
		return Math.round(numberToRound / nearest) * nearest;
	}

	/**
	 * Rounds a target number up to the nearest multiple of another number.
	 * @see Math#ceil
	 */
	public static function roundUpToNearest(numberToRound:Number, nearest:Number):Number
	{
		return Math.ceil(numberToRound / nearest) * nearest;
	}

	/**
	 * Rounds a target number down to the nearest multiple of another number.
	 * @see Math#floor
	 */
	public static function roundDownToNearest(numberToRound:Number, nearest:Number):Number
	{
		return Math.floor(numberToRound / nearest) * nearest;
	}

	/**
	 * Rounds a target number to a specific number of decimal places.
	 * @see Math#round
	 */
	public static function roundToPrecision(number:Number, precision:int = 0):Number
	{
		var decimalPlaces:Number = Math.pow(10, precision);
		return Math.round(decimalPlaces * number) / decimalPlaces;
	}
}

}
