nint(3I)

NAME
     NINT, IDNINT, IQNINT - Converts to nearest integer

SYNOPSIS
     NINT ([A=]a [,[KIND=]kind])
     IDNINT ([A=]a)
     IQNINT ([A=]a)

IMPLEMENTATION
     UNICOS, UNICOS/mk, IRIX systems

     CF90, MIPSpro 7 Fortran 90, MIPSpro Fortran 77

STANDARDS
     Fortran

     Fortran extension:  IQNINT

DESCRIPTION
     NINT is the generic function name; the others are specifics.  These
     are elemental intrinsic functions.  They accept the following
     arguments:

     a         Must be type real.  See the RETURN VALUES section for
               information on input data types and return values.

               The data type and kind type for single-precision,
               double-precision, and quad-precision values differ depending
               on your platform.  For platform-specific information, see
               the TERMINOLOGY section of the INTRO_INTRIN(3I) man page.

     kind      An integer scalar value.  Must be a kind type allowed for x.
               This argument is not accepted by the MIPSpro Fortran 77
               compiler.

     These functions find the nearest integer for real numbers, using these
     equations:

          y = INT(x+.5) if x >= 0

          y = INT(x-.5) if x < 0

NOTES
     The NINT and IDNINT intrinsic function names can be passed as
     arguments; the other cannot.

RETURN VALUES
     NINT returns the nearest integer for its real argument.

     IDNINT returns the nearest integer for its double-precision argument.

     IQNINT returns the nearest integer for its quad-precision argument.
