fix

fix( 
n_arg 
) 
=> x_result

Description

Returns the largest integer not larger than the given argument.

If the given floating point argument n_arg is greater than the maximum integer value INT_MAX, a warning message displays and the INT_MAX value is returned. Similarly, if the floating point argument n_arg is less than the minimum integer value INT_MIN, a warning message displays and the INT_MIN value is returned. This function is equivalent to floor.

Arguments

n_arg

Any number.

Value Returned

x_result

The largest integer not greater than n_arg. If an integer is given as an argument, it returns the argument.
