What I'm really trying to say is that adding the ability to set a
minimum or maximum number of decimals would make the round command a
lot more useful.
findRound merely performs a calculation, with numDecimals indicating a
maximum amount of precision. Formatting a string representation of a
float with features like zero padding is a separate issue. If the OP
intends to use findRound as part of formatted-string generation, the
padding will have to be performed elsewhere, while producing a string
representation of the result of findRound.
