Just for fun:
roundDown <- function(x, digits = 2)
{
currplaces <- nchar(as.character((floor(x))))
x <- x * 10 ^ (digits - currplaces)
x <- floor(x)
x <- x / (10 ^ (digits - currplaces))
x
}
> roundDown(1.98, 2)
[1] 1.9
> roundDown(1.98, 1)
[1] 1
> roundDown(1.98, 3)
[1] 1.98
>
>
> roundDown(298, 2)
[1] 290
> roundDown(298, 1)
[1] 200
>
> roundDown(298, 3)
[1] 298
