@Alex 给出了一个绝妙的答案here。但是，我想对他所做的工作进行一些改进，例如，通过演示如何进行仿真浮点（使用整数像浮点数一样）四舍五入到任何所需的小数位。我在下面的代码中证明了这一点。不过，我走得更远，最后写了一个完整的代码教程来教自己定点数学。这里是：
我的 fixed_point_math 教程：类似于教程的练习代码，用于学习如何进行定点数学，仅使用整数进行手动“浮点”式打印，
类似“浮点”的整数舍入和大整数的小数定点数学。
如果你真的想学习定点数学，我认为这是值得仔细阅读的宝贵代码，但我花了整个周末来编写，所以预计你可能需要几个小时才能彻底完成它全部。 但是，可以在顶部找到舍入内容的基础知识，并且只需几分钟即可学会。

// Manual "floats" ***with rounding now***:
// - To do rounding with integers, the concept is best understood by examples:
// BASE 10 CONCEPT:
// 1. To round to the nearest whole number:
// Add 1/2 to the number, then let it be truncated since it is an integer.
// Examples:
// 1.5 + 1/2 = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2.0. Truncate it to 2. Good!
// 1.99 + 0.5 = 2.49. Truncate it to 2. Good!
// 1.49 + 0.5 = 1.99. Truncate it to 1. Good!
// 2. To round to the nearest tenth place:
// Multiply by 10 (this is equivalent to doing a single base-10 left-shift), then add 1/2, then let
// it be truncated since it is an integer, then divide by 10 (this is a base-10 right-shift).
// Example:
// 1.57 x 10 + 1/2 = 15.7 + 0.5 = 16.2. Truncate to 16. Divide by 10 --> 1.6. Good.
// 3. To round to the nearest hundredth place:
// Multiply by 100 (base-10 left-shift 2 places), add 1/2, truncate, divide by 100 (base-10
// right-shift 2 places).
// Example:
// 1.579 x 100 + 1/2 = 157.9 + 0.5 = 158.4. Truncate to 158. Divide by 100 --> 1.58. Good.
//
// BASE 2 CONCEPT:
// - We are dealing with fractional numbers stored in base-2 binary bits, however, and we have already
// left-shifted by FRACTION_BITS (num << FRACTION_BITS) when we converted our numbers to fixed-point
// numbers. Therefore, *all we have to do* is add the proper value, and we get the same effect when we
// right-shift by FRACTION_BITS (num >> FRACTION_BITS) in our conversion back from fixed-point to regular
// numbers. Here's what that looks like for us:
// - Note: "addend" = "a number that is added to another".
// (see https://www.google.com/search?q=addend&oq=addend&aqs=chrome.0.0l6.1290j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8).
// - Rounding to 0 digits means simply rounding to the nearest whole number.
// Round to: Addends:
// 0 digits: add 5/10 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/2
// 1 digits: add 5/100 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/20
// 2 digits: add 5/1000 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/200
// 3 digits: add 5/10000 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/2000
// 4 digits: add 5/100000 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/20000
// 5 digits: add 5/1000000 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/200000
// 6 digits: add 5/10000000 * FRACTION_DIVISOR ==> + FRACTION_DIVISOR/2000000
// etc.

printf("\nRELATED CONCEPT: DOING LARGE-INTEGER MATH WITH SMALL INTEGER TYPES:\n");
// RELATED CONCEPTS:
// Now let's practice handling (doing math on) large integers (ie: large relative to their integer type),
// withOUT resorting to using larger integer types (because they may not exist for our target processor),
// and withOUT using floating point math, since that might also either not exist for our processor, or be too
// slow or program-space-intensive for our application.
// - These concepts are especially useful when you hit the limits of your architecture's integer types: ex:
// if you have a uint64_t nanosecond timestamp that is really large, and you need to multiply it by a fraction
// to convert it, but you don't have uint128_t types available to you to multiply by the numerator before
// dividing by the denominator. What do you do?
// - We can use fixed-point math to achieve desired results. Let's look at various approaches.
// - Let's say my goal is to multiply a number by a fraction < 1 withOUT it ever growing into a larger type.
// - Essentially we want to multiply some really large number (near its range limit for its integer type)
// by some_number/some_larger_number (ie: a fraction < 1). The problem is that if we multiply by the numerator
// first, it will overflow, and if we divide by the denominator first we will lose resolution via bits
// right-shifting out.
// Here are various examples and approaches.
// -----------------------------------------------------
// EXAMPLE 1
// Goal: Use only 16-bit values & math to find 65401 * 16/127.
// Result: Great! All 3 approaches work, with the 3rd being the best. To learn the techniques required for the
// absolute best approach of all, take a look at the 8th approach in Example 2 below.
// -----------------------------------------------------

printf("\nEXAMPLE 1\n");
// Find the true answer.
// First, let's cheat to know the right answer by letting it grow into a larger type.
// Multiply *first* (before doing the divide) to avoid losing resolution.
printf("%u * %u/%u = %u. <== true answer\n", num16, times, divide, (uint32_t)num16*times/divide);
// 1st approach: just divide first to prevent overflow, and lose precision right from the start.
uint16_t num16_result = num16/divide * times;
printf("1st approach (divide then multiply):\n");
printf(" num16_result = %u. <== Loses bits that right-shift out during the initial divide.\n", num16_result);
// 2nd approach: split the 16-bit number into 2 8-bit numbers stored in 16-bit numbers,
// placing all 8 bits of each sub-number to the ***far right***, with 8 bits on the left to grow
// into when multiplying. Then, multiply and divide each part separately.
// - The problem, however, is that you'll lose meaningful resolution on the upper-8-bit number when you
// do the division, since there's no bits to the right for the right-shifted bits during division to
// be retained in.
// Re-sum both sub-numbers at the end to get the final result.
// - NOTE THAT 257 IS THE HIGHEST *TIMES* VALUE I CAN USE SINCE 2^16/0b0000,0000,1111,1111 = 65536/255 = 257.00392.

// placing all 8 bits of each sub-number ***in the center***, with 4 bits on the left to grow when
// multiplying and 4 bits on the right to not lose as many bits when dividing.
// This will help stop the loss of resolution when we divide, at the cost of overflowing more easily when we
// multiply.

6th approach (split into 16 1-bit sub-numbers with bits skewed left):
num16_result = 50963. <== Loses the fewest possible bits that right-shift out during the divide.
7th approach (split into 16 1-bit sub-numbers with bits skewed left):
num16_result = 50963. <== [same as 6th approach] Loses the fewest possible bits that right-shift out during the divide.
[BEST APPROACH OF ALL] 8th approach (split into 16 1-bit sub-numbers with bits skewed left, w/integer rounding during division):
num16_result = 50967. <== Loses the fewest possible bits that right-shift out during the divide,
& has better accuracy due to rounding during the divide.
