Fix

Home › Mathematical Functions › Fix

Fix

Returns the whole-number part, rounding towards zero, so Fix(-4.9) is -4.

Syntax

Declare Function Fix ( ByVal number As Single ) As Single
Declare Function Fix ( ByVal number As Double ) As Double
Declare Function Fix ( ByVal number As Integer ) As Integer
Declare Function Fix ( ByVal number As UInteger ) As UInteger

Parameters

• number

Description

Equivalent to: Sgn(number) * Int(Abs(number)). For example, Fix(1.3) will return 1.0, and Fix(-4.9) will return -4.0. For integer types, the number is returned unchanged.

Note: this function is also equivalent to number - Frac(number).

The Fix unary Operator can be overloaded with user defined types.

Return Value

Returns the integer part of number, rounding towards zero.

Remarks

Usage

result = Fix( number )

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB

• None
