trunc

 double trunc ( double x); float truncf ( float x);long double truncl (long double x);
 double trunc ( double x); float trunc ( float x);long double trunc (long double x); double trunc (T x); // additional overloads for integral types
Truncate value
Rounds x toward zero, returning the nearest integral value that is not larger in magnitude than x.

Header <tgmath.h> provides a type-generic macro version of this function.
Additional overloads are provided in this header (<cmath>) for the integral types: These overloads effectively cast x to a double before calculations (defined for T being any integral type).

Parameters

x
Value to truncate.

Return Value

The nearest integral value that is not larger in magnitude than x (as a floating-point value).
