I noticed a difference with round() at 15 decimal places, and I need to know why this is so.

Yesterday, I noticed that
round(2.4999999999999999) %15 decimal places
ans =
3
But
round(2.499999999999999) %16 decimal places
ans =
2
This can be for any number, not just 2. Does anybody know what causes this?

It's OK, I found the answer. Floating point doubles are precise to 15dp only.

It is not 15 decimal digits that matters, since doubles are not stored in decimal form. A double in MATLAB is actually stored in binary. So 52 binary bits represents something a little more accurate than 15 decimal digits.
