[issue36082] The built-in round() function giving a wrong output

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Rémi Lapeyre <remi.lapeyre at henki.fr> added the comment:

This is called banker rounding and is done on purpose to limit the accumulation of errors when summing a list of rounded integers. You can read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round_half_to_even and look at IEEE 754 for more information.
