NAME
btrunc - truncate a value to a number of binary places
SYNOPSIS
btrunc(x [,j])
TYPES
x real
j int
return real
DESCRIPTION
Truncate x to j binary places. If j is omitted, 0 places is assumed.
Specifying zero places makes the result identical to int().
Truncation of a non-integer prodcues values nearer to zero.
EXAMPLE
> print btrunc(pi()), btrunc(pi(), 10)
3 3.140625
> print btrunc(3.3), btrunc(3.7), btrunc(3.3, 2), btrunc(3.7, 2)
3 3 3.25 3.5
> print btrunc(-3.3), btrunc(-3.7), btrunc(-3.3, 2), btrunc(-3.7, 2)
-3 -3 -3.25 -3.5
LIMITS
