Time#round

time.round([ndigits]) → new_time

Rounds subsecond to a given precision in decimal digits (0 digits by default). It returns a new Time object. ndigits should be zero or a positive integer.

Example
t = Time.utc(2010,3,30, 5,43,25.123456789r)
t                       #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25.123456789 UTC
t.round                 #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25 UTC
t.round(0)              #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25 UTC
t.round(1)              #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25.1 UTC
t.round(2)              #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25.12 UTC
t.round(3)              #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25.123 UTC
t.round(4)              #=> 2010-03-30 05:43:25.1235 UTC

t = Time.utc(1999,12,31, 23,59,59)
(t + 0.4).round         #=> 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC
(t + 0.49).round        #=> 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC
(t + 0.5).round         #=> 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
(t + 1.4).round         #=> 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
(t + 1.49).round        #=> 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
(t + 1.5).round         #=> 2000-01-01 00:00:01 UTC

t = Time.utc(1999,12,31, 23,59,59)     #=> 1999-12-31 23:59:59 UTC
(t + 0.123456789).round(4).iso8601(6)  #=> 1999-12-31 23:59:59.1235 UTC
