### Int (number)

Basic and Crystal syntax.

##### Argument

Number value

##### Returns

Whole number value

##### Action

Int returns the integer portion of a given number.

##### Examples

The following examples are applicable to both Basic and Crystal syntax:

`Int (123.678)`

Returns 123.

`Int (-123.678)`

Returns -124.

`Int (-123.1)`

Returns -124.

##### Comments

- This function is designed to work like the Visual Basic function of the same name.
- Fix (n) (or Truncate (n)) and Int (n) are the same except when n is negative, in which case Fix and Truncate return the first integer greater than or equal to n, and Int returns the first integer smaller than or equal to n. For example,

`Fix (-10.2)`

`Truncate (-10.2)`

Both return -10.

`Int (-10.2)`

Returns -11.
