Trunc

Truncate a floating point value.

Declaration

Source position: mathh.inc line 134

Description

Trunc returns the integer part of X, which is always smaller than (or equal to) X in absolute value.

Errors

An invalid floating point operation error may occur in one of several conditions:

• Infinity or NegInfinity is specified.
• Nan is specified.
• X is out of the valid range of integers.

Example

Program Example70;

{ Program to demonstrate the Trunc function. }

begin
  Writeln (Trunc(123.456));  { Prints 123  }
  Writeln (Trunc(-123.456)); { Prints -123 }
  Writeln (Trunc(12.3456));  { Prints 12   }
  Writeln (Trunc(-12.3456)); { Prints -12  }
end.

Example

program ex124;

{
  Example to show various error conditions for the Trunc() function.
  SysUtils is used to convert the runtime error to an exception that can be caught
  Math is used to have access to Nan and (Neg)Infinity
