Round to Nearest Function

Thanks for your help and replies. 

Ive tried that but because its working with decimals it makes it increasingly difficult to get it correct. I understand that the 6008 is according to some people isnt known for its accuracy but for these last two im struggling to get an accuate reading. For 50p im having the problem of the signal varying from say 16.3 up to 16.8, which to me obviously would sugest the middle point. 

Would it be worthwhile getting the output into an array of say 10 values, taking the average of the output then trying some form of rounding to get a better value? Also i tried to create a prompt and created well a never ending loop (My bad). For the default of the enum i just would like a prompt that asks the user to select a value of coin. 

Many thanks

Yeah, that does sound like you are at the middle point.  Averaging of values is a very common way to reduce your noise.

So best way to do it is put values into array, and then average it again and display the average?
