I have a code block:

round(4.5)
round(5.5)

When I run the code above, I get:

4
6

I expect the round to round the numbers up when the decimal is >5. Why round works differently for 4.5 and 5.5

Please remember to check the [documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#round). This behavior is documented. – user2357112 Jul 09 '20 at 15:56
