int(): what does it mean?

Question

Dear all,

I have a question about the function int():

DataMask = DataMask~( int(DataProv./(2^(n-i))) );
DataProv = DataProv-(2^(n-i))*( int(DataProv[.,1]./(2^(n-i))) );

How does int() work? What does it return?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The int command will round the input down to the next lowest integer.

print int(3.9);

will print out:

3.000

print int(-3.9);

will print out:

-3.000

1,773
