The [[CINT]] function rounds decimal point numbers up or down to the nearest [[INTEGER]] value.  


{{PageSyntax}}
: {{Parameter|value%}} = [[CINT]]({{Parameter|expression}})


{{PageParameters}}
* {{Parameter|expression}} is any [[TYPE]] of literal or variable numerical value or mathematical calculation.


{{PageDescription}}
* Values greater than .5 are rounded up. Values lower than .5 are rounded down.
* ''Warning:'' Since [[CINT]] is used for integer values, the input values cannot exceed 32767 to -32768! 
* Use [[CLNG]] for [[LONG]] integer values exceeding [[INTEGER]] limitations.
* Note: When decimal point values are given to BASIC functions requiring [[INTEGER]]s the value will be [[CINT]]ed.


{{PageExamples}}
''Example:'' Shows how CINT rounds values up or down as in "bankers' rounding".
