NAME
trunc - truncate value of argument
SYNOPSIS
val = trunc(someval)
DESCRIPTION
trunc returns the truncated (integer part) value of someval.
Like all Minc functions, however, it returns it as a double (floating-point)
value. For example
will set val to 14.0.
This differs from the
round
scorefile command in that
round
will return the closest int, where
trunc
simply ignores the values after the decimal point.
ARGUMENTS
- someval
-
Any number, floating point or integer (although an int would be silly...)
EXAMPLES
truncval = trunc(arbitrary_val)
