NINT — Nearest whole number#

NINT(A)#

NINT(A) rounds its argument to the nearest whole number.

Parameters
  • A – The type of the argument shall be REAL.

  • KIND – (Optional) An INTEGER initialization expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.

Returns

Returns A with the fractional portion of its magnitude eliminated by rounding to the nearest whole number and with its sign preserved, converted to an INTEGER of the default kind.

Standard:

Fortran 77 and later, with KIND argument Fortran 90 and later

Class:

Elemental function

Syntax:
RESULT = NINT(A [, KIND])
Example:
program test_nint
  real(4) x4
  real(8) x8
  x4 = 1.234E0_4
  x8 = 4.321_8
  print *, nint(x4), idnint(x8)
end program test_nint
