#113: How can I round a number correctly?

From first times when was released a Borland Pascal, in sources was included a "bank" algorithm of number rounding.
For example,
Round(25.5) = 26
but
Round(26.5) = 26.

For banks or some other financial organizations this algorithm is good but in other type of calculations we want a standard rounding. For this tasks I use the own small function that I use instead standard:

function CorrectRound(x: Extended): LongInt;
begin
  Result := Trunc(x);
  if (Frac(x) >= 0.5) then
    Result := Result + 1;
end;
