====== CINT ======
/* Remove the comments after creating content for each section.*/

Returns the value of the given floating-point value rounded to the nearest integer

  For the lines below, just create links, separated by commas, to other pages of the BASICs section,

  "Implemented by" should mention BASICs which implement the keyword like described, in a more usual and standard way.
  
  "With variations" should point to BASICs where this keyword is used a bit differently.
  
  "Also written as" should list alternative spellings and abbreviations this keyword has. No need to
  refer to a BASIC, there is a section for that later.

**Implemented by:** [[:basics:trs80:level2]], [[:basics:GWBASIC:]], [[:basics:bwbasic:]], [[:basics:bwbasic:bw32]], [[:basics:ABasiC:]], [[:basics:msqb:QBasic]], [[:basics:VBDOS:]], [[:basics:FreeBASIC:]], [[:basics:EndBASIC:]]

**With variations:** [[:basics:Altair:altair12K]] (always converts to the lesser integer; overflows in values out of 16-bit range), [[:basics:MSX:]] (rounds negatives down), [[:basics:Gambas:]]

**Also written as: ** 

===== Usage =====
<code gwbasic>
10 PRINT CINT(41.49)   ' shows "41"
20 PRINT CINT(41.51)   ' shows "42"
</code>


==== Variations ====
Microsoft BASICs which implement CINT usually limit its argument to the 16-bit signed range of -32768 to 32767. A lesser or greater input value causes an overflow error. [[CLNG]] allows for bigger numbers, in the 32-bit signed range.

The official documentation of [[:basics:bwbasic|Bywater BASIC 2.20]] described CINT as //"returns the truncated integer for the argument"//, which is equivalent to the [[FIX]] function that it did not implement; both keywords were implemented with their common behaviours in version 3.20.
