  you may also wish to consider the sign of x , as this affects the value
 returned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  function abs(object x)
  --                            absolute value of atom/integer
  --                            easily extended to a sequence.
  --                            sqrt(x*x) is almost equivalent.
  --                            or use a for loop.

   if x<0 then x=-x end if

   return x

  end function

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  function sgn(object x)
  --                             sign of  atom/integer
  --                         for loop required for a sequence.
   integer s
        s=0
     if x<0 then
        s=-1
     elsif x>0
        s=1
     else
        s=0
     end if

     return s

   end function

   function n_round(object x)
   --                           new rounding function.
   --               requires a little work to extend to a sequence.

    return sgn(x)*floor(abs(x)+0.5)

   end function
