Description

Truncates the decimal portion of the specified REAL number, returning the result as a LONGINT value.

Note that direct assignment of a REAL to a LONGINT will result in rounding the REAL to the nearest LONGINT, whereas Trunc always rounds down (if the number is positive).

FUNCTION Trunc(
        v   :REAL) : LONGINT;

def vs.Trunc(v):
    return LONGINT

Parameters

v

REAL

Real value to truncate.

VectorScript

Trunc(235.04); { returns 235 }
Trunc(235.94); { returns 235 }
Trunc(0.94); { returns 0 }
