CINT

The CINT function rounds decimal point numbers up or down to the nearest INTEGER value.

Syntax

value% = CINT(expression)

Parameters

• 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
