Converts numeric or string expression to an
Integer
Syntax
Usage
result = CInt( numeric expression )
result = CInt( string expression )
result = CInt( user defined type )
Parameters
expression
a numeric, string, or pointer expression to cast to a
Integer value
datatype
any numeric, string, or pointer data type
typename
a user defined type
Return Value
Description
The
CInt function rounds off the decimal part of
numeric expression and returns a 32-bit
Integer. The function does not check for an overflow, so be sure not to pass a value which is less than -2 147 483 648 or larger than 2 147 483 647. The name is derived from 'Convert to INTeger'.
If the argument is a string expression, it is converted to numeric by using
ValInt.
Example
' Using the CINT function to convert a numeric value
'Create an INTEGER variable
Dim numeric_value As Integer
'Convert a numeric value
numeric_value = CInt(-300.23)
'Print the result, should return -300
Print numeric_value
Sleep
Dialect Differences
- In the -lang qb dialect, CInt will return a 16-bit integer, like in QB.
Differences from QB
- The string argument was not allowed in QB
