Proposal: rounding floats with `~`

Automatic rounding of floats to integer
E.g:

~18361.32         //compile to 18361

Answer 1 · 2014-12-01T19:22:27.000Z

Does this syntax have an existing implementation in some language?

Answer 2 · 2014-12-01T19:53:42.000Z

The ~ operator is often used for Bitwise NOT

@alongubkin well that would make this syntax completely confusing.

Let's avoid syntax sugar where it isn't completely obvious.

I totally agree, it looks confusing. There's also rounding to given point offset, like round 18361.32 to 18361.30 or 18361.00 which such operator couldn't handle.

How often do you round floats, @Pixeladed ?

I'll close this proposal -> bad syntax

Answer 6 · 2014-12-05T14:55:11.000Z

if it's really necessary how about predefining a keyworad like: round(123.43)

Answer 7 · 2014-12-08T15:44:06.000Z

round is only slightly better than Math.round

It's not worth adding extra syntax for something like that.
