The CINT function rounds decimal point numbers up or down to the nearest INTEGER value.
Syntax
- value% = CINT(expression)
- expression is any TYPE of literal or variable numerical value or mathematical calculation.
Description
- Values greater than .5 are rounded up. Values lower than .5 are rounded down.
- Warning: Since CINT is used for integer values, the input values cannot exceed 32767 to -32768!
- Use CLNG for LONG integer values exceeding INTEGER limitations.
- Note: When decimal point values are given to BASIC functions requiring INTEGERs the value will be CINTed.
Examples
Example: Shows how CINT rounds values up or down as in "bankers' rounding".
a% = CINT(1.49): b% = CINT(1.50): c = 11.5 COLOR c: PRINT a%, b%, c |
1 2 11.5
