Purpose
Returns an integer value obtained by removing the fractional part of a decimal value. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
Int( num_expr )num_expr is a numeric expression.
Return Value
Integer
Description
The Int() function returns the nearest integer value that is less than or equal to the specified num_expr expression. The Fix() function is similar to, but not identical to, the Int() function. The two functions differ in the way that they treat negative fractional values. When passed a negative fractional number, Fix() function will return the nearest integer value greater than or equal to the original value; so, the function call Fix(-2.3) will return a value of -2. But when the Int() function is passed a negative fractional number, it returns the nearest integer value that is less than or equal to the original value. So, the function call Int(-2.3) returns a value of -3.
Example
Dim whole As Integer
whole = Int(5.999)
' whole now has the value 5
whole = Int(-7.2)
' whole now has the value -8 See Also:
