Explain the difference between truncation and rounding.How can one operation be made to perform the function of the other?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Truncation: In this case, the remaining digits after the decimal is chopped off, thus for example 23.49 if chopped or truncated will be made to just 23.
Rounding: In this case, we have to round or made the given number to the closest number as mentioned or said so while rounding. Like if we have to round the decimal number 23.4589 to 2 decimal digits then it will be rounded to 23.46 as the digit after the 45 is 8 so 45 will be rounded to 46.

For rounding and truncation to work same, we need to round a number to the nearest integer and if the decimal digits after the decimal are less than 5. Then the truncation and rounding will work the same.
Like if want to round 23.45 to the nearest integer and truncate 23.45.
So both of them will make it 23.

That was a nice question to answer
