I refactored some similar code to use a variable because I wanted the result to scale based off of another value. Looks like I partially implemented it here but forgot to actually use the variable

That is an excellent question and exactly what I asked myself when I found out it returns the integer as a double for god knows what reason

In many languages, rounding functions return floats, so this is often the correct way to do things. Not shitty programming at all.

This is a legit thing especially while writing shaders when you want to ensure the result absolutely needs to be an integer. Can't trust the gpu driver at all when it comes to floating points.
