[issue36288] Incorrect answer when using round()

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Thanks for submitting a report MeeranRizvi.

This is the expected behavior, according to the IEEE 754 Python round to nearest even integer. This is called the bankers' rounding and is done (I think) to limitate the propagation of errors.

I suggest we close this as not a bug.
