Default Round doesnt work the way it is expected

. . . About
10 years ago, an informal survey of computer languages found them about
evenly divided as to which rounding method they implemented.

Which computer languages? C, C++, APL, APL2, Perl and most other
scripting languages don't have any built-in rounding functions. FORTRAN
has both AINT and ANINT, the former always truncating, the latter
always the opposite. As far as I can tell, Java and VB may be the only
widely used languages that include single rounding functions.
