It shouldn't though, not according to both the Manual
Um, I don't know what you're smoking, but the manual does state that it works that way:Int( value ) Parameters: value = a number, or a string which represents a number Description: Converts the value to the nearest integer. This is the same as Blitz's automatic type conversion. So the two commands... n = value n = Int( value ) ... do exactly the same thing when n is an integer variable. If Int is applied to a string it converts as much as possible: Int( "10" ) ........ result is 10 Int( "3.7" ) ....... result is 3, stops at "." which can't be part of an integer Int( "junk3" ) .... result is 0, stops at "j" Int converts floating point numbers by rounding to the nearest integer. NOTE: This is not the traditional meaning of Int in Basic. What about numbers exactly halfway between integers? The rounding is to the nearest even integer: Int( 2.5 ) ... produces 2 Int( 3.5 ) ... produces 4 See also Floor and Ceil for other types of rounding.
