hej,

first of all, this is a basic C question and hence off-topic. you should
give news:comp.lang.c and/or news:comp.lang.c.moderated a try in the
future, and while you are at it, download the C faq also. in any case,
now that you are here, note the following:

* in ANSI C, arguments to the trigonometric functions are given in
radians, not degrees (360 degrees = 2*PI radians). the header math.h
defines the constants M_PI (180 dg), M_PI_2 (90 dg) and M_PI_4 (45 dg),
use those.

* the best way to proceed depends on what you understand by rounding. if
d is a double value, (int)(d+0.5) is usually reasonable. you might also
want to look at the documentation for floor and ceil functions to see if
that is the functionality you are looking for.

hth.
