Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

' This example compares output from INT, CINT, and FIX:
' • INT rounds down for positive numbers, up for negative numbers
' • FIX always rounds down (towards 0)
' • CINT rounds off (at .5, CINT rounds towards the nearest even integer)
 
' To try this example:
' 1. Choose New Project from the File menu
' 2. Copy the example code below to the code window
' 3. Press F5 to run the example
