We want to round off x, a float, to an int value, The correct way to do is
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Rounding off a value means replacing it by a nearest value that is approximately equal or smaller or greater to the given number.
y = (int)(x + 0.5); here x is any float value. To roundoff, we have to typecast the value of x by using (int)
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
float x = 3.6;
int y = (int)(x + 0.5);
printf ("Result = %d\n", y );
return 0;
}
Output:
Result = 4.

Here round of of x is asked. So answer should be (int) x+0.5.
If they have asked to round of why then answer will be (int)(x+0.5).
Please correct me if I am wrong.

The answer should be C:
float x = 4.2;
printf("%f\n", (int)x + 0.5 );
Outputs 4.500000.
float x = 4.2;
printf("%f\n", (int)x + 0.5 );
Outputs 4.500000.
