Here’s a function for Gaussian/Banker’s Rounding in Javascript adapted from code written by Michael Boon at //boonedocks.net/.
This can be useful if you’re working with Microsoft languages such as VBScript, which use Banker’s Rounding by default in their Round function. Javascript has no built-in gaussian rounding and, instead, uses Arithmetic rounding. For more information on this, see Wikipedia’s article on rounding, specifically, the Round to Even section.
