var := INT expression var>var := INTCHECK expression
The INT statement will cause your expression being evaluated as an integer expression. More precisely (more precisely less wrongly), the expression will be evaluated numerically, and the result will be converted to an integer whose textual representation will be the string to be assigned to the destination variable. The calculation itself will be done with the point floating, though (see the below examples for what that means).
Note that the INT statement converts the result to an integer by truncating it. There is no rounding involved, no rounding at all.
In case of the expression being syntactically ill-formed, an error (INT) or warning (INTCHECK) is reported.
#int := int 3.1 // == 3 #int := int 3.9 // == 3 #int := int 3.9 * 3.9 // == 15 #int := int int(3.9) * int(3.9) // == 9
