Description

These rounding methods currently accept a number of (decimal) digits, but a more general mechanism would allow rounding to the nearest ΒΌ, multiple of 5, etc.
Equivalent to e.g. ((num / step.to_f).round * step)

12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.2
12.3456.round(step: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.floor(step: 0.2) #=> 12.2

IMHO this should also apply to Time#floor/round/ceil

Time.now.floor(step: 3600) #=> current hour
Time.now.round(step: 3600) #=> nearest hour
Time.now.ceil(step: 3600)  #=> next hour

We can also consider that instead of :step , :by or :to might be quite readable.

12.3456.round(by: 0.2) #=> 12.4
12.3456.round(to: 0.2) #=> 12.4
