# FIX Function

#### Purpose:

To truncate x to a whole number.

#### Syntax:

    FIX(x)

#### Comments:

FIX does not round off numbers, it simply eliminates the decimal point and all characters to the right of the decimal point.

FIX(x) is equivalent to SGN(x)*INT(ABS(x)). The major difference between FIX and INT is that FIX does not return the next lower number for negative x.

FIX is useful in modulus arithmetic.

#### Examples:

    PRINT FIX(58.75)
     58

    PRINT FIX(-58.75)
     -58
