Int Function

Named Arguments

No

Syntax

Int(number)

number

Use: Required

Data Type: Any valid numeric data type

The number to be processed.

Return Value

Returns a value of the data type passed to it.

Description

Returns the integer portion of a number.

Rules at a Glance

  • The fractional part of number is removed and the resulting integer value returned. Int doesn't round number to the nearest whole number; for example, Int(100.9) returns 100.

  • If number is negative, Int returns the first negative integer less than or equal to number ; for example, Int(-10.1) returns –11.

Programming Tips and Gotchas

  • Int and Fix work identically with positive numbers. However, for negative numbers, Fix returns the first negative integer greater than number. For example, Int(-10.1) returns –10.

  • Don't confuse the Int function with CInt. CInt casts the number passed to it as an Integer data type, whereas Int returns the same data type that was passed to it.
