round command does not work properly on calculated results
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When trying to round the result of a calculation directly, then the round command does not round to the next integer, if the whole term is not covered in parantheses. When saving the result of the calculation in a variable and then do a round on the variable it works fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Simple example for a wrong result

round (3+4)/3 -> 2.33333

but

round ((3+4)/3) -> 2

and

_calc = (3+4)/3
round _calc -> 2

gives the correct result.

It's not a bug. That's how the expressions are prioritized.
round (3+4)/3 calculates round (7) first, then divides it by 3.

My bad, never had any issues so far with this detail of SQF.
