INT(number)

  • Where 'number' is a number to round.

INT() rounds a number down to the nearest integer.

Description

INT(number)

INT() function rounds a number to the nearest integer towards zero.

For Example,

1. INT(3.6) returns 3 as output.

2. INT(-2.4) returns -3 as output.

3. INT() can be used with multiple inputs as -

  a) INT(4.5,6.7,3.345,2) displays 4,6,3,2 as a result.

4. INT() can be combined with other functions as -

  a) INT(SIN(45) + SIN(45)) returns 1 as a result.
  b) 1..5|INT((x^2)+2.5)| calculates the integer output for the equation where x varies from 1 to 5. Returns  3,6,11,18,27 as a   result.
  • If the input is non-numeric, Calci displays a #NaN error message.
  • TRUNC() and INT() functions are somewhat similar. TRUNC() removes the fractional part of the number, where as INT() rounds the number down to nearest integer.
  • INT() and TRUNC() work differently with negative numbers.

INT(-45.1) returns -45 whereas

TRUNC(-45.1) returns -46

Examples

Function Output
INT(1000.34) 1000
INT(23.4546) 23
INT(-3.25) -4
INT(-0.222) -1
