Int

Returns the largest whole number not above the value, so Int(-1.3) is -2.

Syntax

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

Description

Int returns the floor of number. For example, Int(4.9) will return 4.0, and Int(-1.3) will return -2.0. For integer types, the number is returned unchanged.

Note: To return the ceiling of number, i.e. the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to it, one can use -Int( -number ).

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

Return Value

Returns the floor of number, i.e. the largest integer that is less than or equal to it.
