So i want to do one thing in the future. I wanna round a number to the nearest thousand. I did this test that doesnt work. Help?

local x = 567
local a = 567 / 1000
local rounded = math.floor(a)
print (rounded * 1000)

for some reason it rounds downwards

print(rounded)

Sorry forgot to multiply by 1000 again, edited. mattscy 3725 — 6y

Explain your answer! What did they not do? (Answer, they forgot to add .5 to the number they were flooring) M39a9am3R 3210 — 6y
