# int

int -- Extracts an integer from a decimal number.

## Description

Returns the integer part of x.

## Syntax

int(x) (init-rate or control-rate args only)

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

## Examples

Here is an example of the int opcode. It uses the files int.orc and int.sco.

Example 1. Example of the int opcode.

    /* int.orc */
    ; Initialize the global variables.
    sr = 44100
    kr = 4410
    ksmps = 10
    nchnls = 1

    ; Instrument #1.
    instr 1
      i1 = 16 / 5
      i2 = int(i1)

      print i2
    endin
    /* int.orc */

    /* int.sco */
    ; Play Instrument #1 for one second.
    i 1 0 1
    e
    /* int.sco */

Its output should include a line like this:

    instr 1:  i2 = 3.000
