[D] functions -- Functions
Mathematical function
int(x)
Domain: -8e+307 to 8e+307
Range: integers -8e+307 to 8e+307
Description: returns the integer obtained by truncating x toward 0;
thus,
int(5.2) = 5
int(-5.2) = -5
returns x (not ".") if x is missing, meaning that
int(.a) = .a.
One way to obtain the closest integer to x is
int(x+sign(x)/2), which simplifies to int(x+0.5) for x >
0. However, use of the round() function is preferred.
Also see round(x), ceil(x), and floor(x).
trunc(x) is a synonym for int(x).
