 Truncation Vs. Rounding
 
 ■ "Truncation" discards the fractional portion of a number, no matter how
   large. For example:
 
         5 / 3 = 1.66 (truncated value = 1.0)
 
   See: ◄FIX Function►
 
 ■ "Rounding" adds 1 to the integer portion of a number if the fractional
   portion is greater than or equal to 1/2 (or .5). For example:
 
         5 / 3 = 1.66 (rounded value = 2.0)
