FUNCTION:  Fix( )
Implemented in version 1.0
 
Fix(Number)
 
The Fix function converts a decimal number (floating-point) to an integer number (fix-point).
 
There is a companion function Int that also converts to integers. There is one major difference between Int and Fix. Int rounds negative numbers down. Fix rounds negative numbers up.
 
Code:
<% =Fix(123.456) %>
 
Output:
123
 
Positive numbers are not rounded up. The decimal point and all digits to the right are effectively chopped off.
 
Code:
<% =Fix(123.899) %>
 
Output:
123

 
Negative numbers can also be converted. Negative numbers are rounded up (towards more positive). The decimal point and all digits to the right are effectively chopped off.
 
Code:
<% =Fix(-123.899) %>
 
Output:
-123
