SteveMcNeill 33adc04fc4 Add temp folder to repo. It's necessary as well!
Just more initial setting on... nothing much to see here.

The [[FIX]] function rounds a numerical value to the next whole number closest to zero.
{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|result}} = [[FIX]]({{Parameter|expression}})
{{Parameters}}
* {{Parameter|expression}} is any [[Data types|type]] of literal or variable numerical value or mathematical calculation.
{{PageDescription}}
* [[FIX]] effectively truncates (removes) the fractional part of {{Parameter|expression}}, returning the integer part.
** This means that [[FIX]] rounds down for positive values and up for negative values.
* Use [[INT]] to round down negative values. Positive values are rounded down by both.
{{PageExamples}}
''Example 1:'' Showing the behavior of [[FIX]] with positive and negative decimal point values.

PRINT FIX(2.5)
PRINT FIX(-2.5) '' ''

''Example 2:'' The NORMAL arithmetic method (round half up) can be achieved using the function in the example code below:
