Amath rounds a number to the nearest integer.#NEWLINE# trunc (/10/) Truncation is limiting the number of digits right of the decimal point,#NEWLINE#by discarding the least significant ones. Amath truncates a number to#NEWLINE#the nearest integer.#NEWLINE##SYNTAXHIGHLIGHT#Example: trunc(-23.94#NEWLINE# floor (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# ceil (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# sqr (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# cbr (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# lb (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# ln (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# lg (/10/) No help is available for this function.#NEWLINE# sin (/10/) Sine is the trigonometric function that for an acute angle is the#NEWLINE#ratio between the leg opposite the angle when it is considered#NEWLINE#part of a right triangle and the hypotenuse.#NEWLINE# cos (/10/) Cosine is the trigonometric function that for an acute angle is the#NEWLINE#ratio between the leg adjacent to the angle when it is considered#NEWLINE#part of a right triangle and the hypotenuse#NEWLINE# tan (/10/) Tangent is one of the trigonometry functions.
