Trunc()

The Trunc() function returns the integer value of a given number by cutting off the decimals. For example, 10.4 and 10.6 would both be truncated to 10.

Syntax

result := math.Trunc(x)

Where result is the integer value of x returned as a float64, except under the following circumstances:

• Trunc(math.Inf(1)) yields +Inf.
• Trunc(math.Inf(-1)) yields -Inf.
• Trunc(NaN) yields NaN.
• Trunc(0) yields 0.

Example

The following example implements the math.Trunc() method:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "math"
)

func main() {
  fmt.Printf("%f\n", math.Trunc(5.6789))
  fmt.Printf("%v\n", math.Trunc(-math.Pi))
}

The output will be:

5.000000
-3
