The '''INT''' function rounds a numeric value down to the next whole number or [[INTEGER]](toward less negative). 


{{PageSyntax}}
:: result = '''INT('''''expression''''')'''


{{Parameters}}
* The ''expression'' is any [[TYPE]] of literal or variable numerical value or mathematical calculation.


{{PageDescription}}
* [[INT]] returns the first whole number [[INTEGER]] that is less than the ''expression'' value.
* This means that [[INT]] rounds down for both positive and negative numbers.
* Use [[FIX]] to round negative values up. It is identical to INT with positive values.
