During the meeting, the participants discussed a problem related to rounding numbers. They noticed that when the value is less than or equal to zero, the rounding affects other calculations. The participants tried different approaches to solve the problem, such as using if statements and rounding to a specific precision. However, they discovered that the inputs were not clean, which caused unexpected behavior. They decided to create a function called "test" to handle the data cleaning process. The function checks if a number is close to zero and rounds it accordingly. They also discussed the importance of data preparation, calculation, and presentation in their workflow. Overall, the meeting helped them identify the root cause of the problem and come up with a more efficient solution.
