6. Round to Nearest Even (Bankers' Rounding)

Write a Python program to configure rounding to round to the nearest integer, with ties going to the nearest even integer. Use decimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import decimal
print("Configure the rounding to round to the nearest, with ties going to the nearest even integer:")
decimal.getcontext().prec = 1
decimal.getcontext().rounding = decimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN
print(decimal.Decimal(10) / decimal.Decimal(4))

Sample Output:

Configure the rounding to round to the nearest, with ties going to the nearest even integer:
2

• Write a Python function that takes a list of Decimal values and rounds each to the nearest even integer, then returns the list of rounded values.
• Write a Python script to generate random Decimal values and apply ROUND_HALF_EVEN, then print both the original and rounded values in a formatted output.
• Write a Python program to simulate bankers' rounding on a series of Decimal values and output the difference between ROUND_HALF_UP and ROUND_HALF_EVEN for each value.
