☜ | Integer Interpretation1990 Version of ANSI Standard | ☞ |
Certain functions deal with the integer interpretations of their arguments. The integer interpretation is a mapping from the set of all data values onto the set of all integer values, described by the following algorithm.
First, take the numeric interpretation of the argument. Then remove the fraction, if present. If the result is empty or "-", change it to "0".
The integer expression intexpr is defined to have the same syntax as expr. Its presence in a syntax definition serves to indicate that the integer interpretation of its value is to be taken when it is executed.
intexpr | ::= | expr |
See 2.3 for the definition of expr.
