Rounding Integers
 
There's always rounding for floats but I've
never seen anything for integers.
 
So I wrote this round_to function for integers
to show them some love.
In fact, a problem from work inspired me to figure
it out.
 
x is the number to be rounded
and place is the number of
places to round to.

     return x - x%(10**place)
 
exit

orderly number...
