In general Round is a function and expects to be on the right hand side of the equal sign. i.e.<br>
<br>
result = round(value)<br>
<br>
We are still using Alice 2.x at GCSU, so I'm not sure if the procedure is the same for Alice 3:<br>
<br>
1. Drag the variable "result" into the edit area.<br>
2. Select "set value" and choose an arbitrary placeholder value ,1.0 as an example.<br>
3. Drag "round a" from the function area (World details Function tab for Alice 2.x) on top of the 1<br>
4. It should now say result = set value to round(1). Drag variable "value" down an replace the 1<br>
<br>
The final line should be: result = set value to round(value)<br>

Hello -<br>
One of my students wants to round a decimal number. How do I use round,<br>
min, and max in the math section of Alice 3?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
