3.25 RPSP to 1/2 ⇒ result is 3.5; 3.5 round-half-to-even to 1 ⇒ result is 4 (wrong) If the erroneous middle step is removed, the final rounding to integer rounds 3.25 to the correct value of 3. RPSP is implemented in hardware in IBM zSeries and pSeries.
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 that is consistent with general use in mathematics.
Round-to-nearest: () is set to the nearest floating-point number to . When there is a tie, the floating-point number whose last stored digit is even (also, the last digit, in binary form, is equal to 0) is used.
This alternative definition is significantly more widespread: machine epsilon is the difference between 1 and the next larger floating point number.This definition is used in language constants in Ada, C, C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Mathematica, Octave, Pascal, Python and Rust etc., and defined in textbooks like «Numerical Recipes» by Press et al.

For example, the following algorithm is a direct implementation to compute the function A(x) = (x−1) / (exp(x−1) − 1) which is well-conditioned at 1.0, [nb 12] however it can be shown to be numerically unstable and lose up to half the significant digits carried by the arithmetic when computed near 1.0.
However, for negative numbers truncation does not round in the same direction as the floor function: truncation always rounds toward zero, the function rounds towards negative infinity. For a given number x ∈ R − {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} _{-}} , the function ceil {\displaystyle \operatorname {ceil} } is used instead
