.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
.Fd #include <math.h>
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft double
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint "double x"
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint
|
|
|
|
|
function finds the integer (represented as a double precision number)
|
|
|
|
|
nearest to
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
|
|
|
in the direction of the prevailing rounding mode.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh NOTES
|
|
|
|
|
On a
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn VAX ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint x
|
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to adding half to the magnitude
|
|
|
|
|
and then rounding towards zero.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
In the default rounding mode, to nearest,
|
|
|
|
|
on a machine that conforms to
|
|
|
|
|
.Tn IEEE
|
|
|
|
|
754,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint x
|
|
|
|
|
is the integer nearest
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
|
|
|
with the additional stipulation
|
|
|
|
|
that if
|
|
|
|
|
.Li |rint(x)\-x|=1/2
|
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint x
|
|
|
|
|
is even.
|
|
|
|
|
Other rounding modes can make
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint
|
|
|
|
|
act like
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn floor ,
|
|
|
|
|
or like
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ceil ,
|
|
|
|
|
or round towards zero.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Another way to obtain an integer near
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
|
|
|
is to declare (in C)
|
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
|
double x;\0\0\0\0 int k;\0\0\0\0k\0=\0x;
|
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Most C compilers round
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa x
|
|
|
|
|
towards 0 to get the integer
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa k ,
|
|
|
|
|
but
|
|
|
|
|
some do otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
If in doubt, use
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn floor ,
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn ceil ,
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn rint
|
|
|
|
|
first, whichever you intend.
|
|
|
|
|
Also note that, if x is larger than
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa k
|
|
|
|
|
can accommodate, the value of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa k
|
|
|
|
|
and the presence or absence of an integer overflow are hard to
|
|
|
|
|
predict.
