What is the round() function in Python?

In Python, the round() function rounds a number off to the specified decimal place. The value returned by the function is a floating point.

Syntax

round(number, decimals)

• number: The actual number which needs to be rounded; it is a compulsory argument.

• decimals: The number of decimal places to be rounded to; it is an optional argument.

By default, the number is rounded to 0 decimal places unless specified otherwise in the decimals argument.
