Perl Programming/Keywords/int

The int keyword

int returns the integer part of EXPRESSION or, if EXPRESSION is not specified, that of $_.

This function is inappropriate for rounding, as it truncates towards 0, and the machine-representation of floating-point numbers could return non-intuitive results.

Syntax

  int EXPRESSION
  int

Examples

The print

  print int(842/169) . ', ' . int(1721/169)
