Q(uick)BASIC Function: INT

Quick View

INT

A math function that returns the largest integer less than or equal to a numeric-expression

Worth knowing

Useful and cross-version information about the programming environments of QBasic and QuickBasic.

Syntax

FIX(numeric-expression)
INT(numeric-expression)

Description/Parameter(s)

numeric-expression

Any numeric expression.

Example

PRINT FIX(12.49), FIX(12.54)    'Output is:  12  12
PRINT INT(12.54), INT(-99.4)    'Output is:  12  -100

Syntax

INT(numeric-expression)

Description/Parameter(s)

The INT function removes the fractional part of its argument.

Example

This example compares output from INT, CINT, and FIX, the three functions that convert numeric data to integers.

CLS                ' Clear screen
PRINT "  N","INT(N)","CINT(N)","FIX(N)" : PRINT
FOR I% = 1 TO 6
    READ N
    PRINT N, INT(N), CINT(N), FIX(N)
NEXT
DATA  99.3, 99.5, 99.7, -99.3, -99.5, -99.7

Sample Output:

N INT(N) CINT(N) FIX(N) 99.3 99 99 99 99.5 99 100 99 99.7 99 100 99 -99.3 -100 -99 -99 -99.5 -100 -100 -99 -99.7 -100 -100 -99

Syntax

INT(numeric-expression)

Description/Parameter(s)

Usage Notes

The INT function removes the fractional part of its argument.

Example

This example compares output from INT, CINT, and FIX, the three functions that convert numeric data to integers.

CLS                'Clear screen.
PRINT "  N", "INT(N)", "CINT(N)", "FIX(N)": PRINT
FOR I% = 1 TO 6
    READ N
    PRINT N, INT(N), CINT(N), FIX(N)
NEXT
DATA  99.3, 99.5, 99.7, -99.3, -99.5, -99.7

Sample Output:

N INT(N) CINT(N) FIX(N) 99.3 99 99 99 99.5 99 100 99 99.7 99 100 99 -99.3 -100 -99 -99 -99.5 -100 -100 -99 -99.7 -100 -100 -99
