One method, more obscure than most, is to alternate direction when rounding a number with 0.5 fractional part. All others are rounded to the closest integer. Whenever the fractional part is 0.5, alternate rounding up or down: for the first occurrence of a 0.5 fractional part, round up, for the second occurrence, round down, and so on.
round up (toward +∞; negative results thus round toward zero) round down (toward −∞; negative results thus round away from zero) round toward zero (truncation; it is similar to the common behavior of float-to-integer conversions, which convert −3.9 to −3 and 3.9 to 3)
Some programming languages (or compilers for them) provide a built-in (primitive) or library decimal data type to represent non-repeating decimal fractions like 0.3 and −1.17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the decimal.Decimal or num7.Num type of Python, and analogous types provided by other languages.

Python provides a round function for rounding a float to the nearest integer. For tie-breaking, Python 3 uses round to even: round(1.5) and round(2.5) both produce 2. [123] Versions before 3 used round-away-from-zero: round(0.5) is 1.0, round(-0.5) is −1.0. [124] Python allows Boolean expressions with multiple equality relations in a manner ...
One with a binary integer significand field encodes the significand as a large binary integer between 0 and 10 p −1. This is expected to be more convenient for software implementations using a binary ALU. Another with a densely packed decimal significand field encodes decimal digits more directly. This makes conversion to and from binary ...
sign: 1 bit, representing an unsigned integer s; regime: at least 2 bits and up to (n − 1), representing an unsigned integer r as described below; exponent: up to 2 bits as available after regime, representing an unsigned integer e; fraction: all remaining bits available after exponent, representing a non-negative real dyadic rational f less ...
Integer overflow can be demonstrated through an odometer overflowing, a mechanical version of the phenomenon. All digits are set to the maximum 9 and the next increment of the white digit causes a cascade of carry-over additions setting all digits to 0, but there is no higher digit (1,000,000s digit) to change to a 1, so the counter resets to zero.
