INT (function)

The INT command is a mathematical function that rounds a FLOAT to the smallest INT number. In other words, it cuts off the decimal part of the number, returning only the whole part.

If you apply INT to a number that is already an integer, the result will be the same number. INT is rounded down, so for negative numbers it means taking the largest integer (in absolute value) less than or equal to the original number.

INT is useful when you need to work only with the integer part of a number. It can be used in combination with other mathematical operations to perform more complex calculations. Sometimes you need to convert a FLOAT to an integer in order to use it in certain functions or data structures.
