RE: How to round an HMS number?
Hello,

Remember that unlike the 48 series of calculators, the HMS functions don't actually change the value underneath. Rather, they just set a flag to display/interpret the underlying value as a HMS input. This is why you can do things directly like SIN(<dms_number>), or + - * / and it will work directly without the need to do intermediate conversions like on the old system. It is much more convenient for every case EXCEPT the one you've found when you are trying to round a value like you are doing.
