PERTAIN_TORootCause

If the exact value `1.25` could be represented as either `1.2` or `1.3`, this would break the tie between `1.2` and `1.3` — If there are several such representations, the representation with the smallest difference from the floating-point argument value is chosen. Tension: resolving any remaining ties using rounding according to `round_to_nearest`. Outcome: The former is chosen because `2` is even.

PERTAIN_TOProblem

I don't understand when the very last disambiguation (using `round_to_nearest`) would actually happen. — If there are several such representations, the representation with the smallest difference from the floating-point argument value is chosen. Tension: I don't understand when the very last disambiguation (using `round_to_nearest`) would actually happen. Outcome: These examples are hypothetical, but they show when th.

PERTAIN_TOSolution

An example is the single-precision value `2097152.25`. — The shortest round-trip representations are `2097152.2` and `2097152.3`. Tension: The former is chosen because `2` is even. Outcome: The former is chosen because `2` is even.
