I am trying to solve a simple problem - rounding a number to a nearest multiple of a given float. As an example, I would like roundmult(3811.47123123, 0.01) = 3811.47. However, the simplest implementation of roundmult(val, prec) = round(val / prec) * prec backfires by outputting roundmult(3811.47123…

You’re right… OP: It is generally discouraged to use internal functions, since they might disappear or change behavior in future versions of Julia, and they’re also undocumented which makes your code harder to read. If the problem can be solved by using the publicly exported API that would be prefer…

Cheeky I do not like the idea of changing the whole application due to this small issue
Also, the precision is not fixed upfront, it changes based on the current data. So your suggestion would not really work.
