  // %        note 1: Great work. Ideas for improvement:
  // %        note 1:  - code more compliant with developer guidelines
  // %        note 1:  - for implementing PHP constant arguments look at
  // %        note 1:  the pathinfo() function, it offers the greatest
  // %        note 1:  flexibility & compatibility possible
  // *     example 1: round(1241757, -3);
  // *     returns 1: 1242000
  // *     example 2: round(3.6);
  // *     returns 2: 4
  // *     example 3: round(2.835, 2);
  // *     returns 3: 2.84

Please note that php.js uses JavaScript objects as substitutes for PHP arrays, they are 
the closest match to this hashtable-like data structure. 

Please also note that php.js offers community built functions and goes by the 
[McDonald's Theory](https://medium.com/what-i-learned-building/9216e1c9da7d). We'll put online 
functions that are far from perfect, in the hopes to spark better contributions. 
Do you have one? Then please just:
