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

Specific names:

Name	Argument	Return Type	Standard
`NINT(A)`	`REAL(4) A`	`INTEGER`	Fortran 77 and later
`IDNINT(A)`	`REAL(8) A`	`INTEGER`	Fortran 77 and later
