When you say "instead of 10", how do you go about rounding to the nearest 10 currently?

How can I get round nearest tenth in Matlab

@Aiman Waheed:

Use round. READ THE HELP FOR ROUND. Unless you have an old release of MATLAB, round has allowed you to round to any number of digits for some years now.

Note that you cannot round to an EXACT decimal, since MATLAB does not store numbers in a decimal form.

thanks!!! why i never think in this way!

Well, it isn't always easy. I asked a question on creating a matrix to which the answer provided by Rick Rosson was similarly trivial a few months ago, but only if your thought process takes you in that direction!
