trunc function in C programming language

In this tutorial, we will discuss trunc  function in C programming language

Description

The trunc() math function in C programming language returns the truncated value from the floating point value and return integer value..

trunc() : This function truncates the decimal value from floating point value and returns an integer value.

 

Declaration

The declaration of the trunc() function in C programming language

double trunc(double value]);

float trunc(float value);

long double(long double value);

Parameters or arguments

parameters of trunc()  is

x- This is a floating point value

 

Returns

The trunc() function returns the truncated value from the given floating point value

 

Required Header

In the C Language, the required header file for the trunc()

#include<math.h>

Trunc function in C

Example

The following example shows the usage of trunc()  in C programming language

 

Program 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
    double x=17.07,y=46.107,z=234.867;
    printf("truncated value of %f is %f\n",x,trunc(x));
    printf("truncated value of %f is %f\n",y,trunc(y));
    printf("truncated value of %f is %f\n",y,trunc(z));
    getch();
    return 0;
}

 

When the above program is compiled, it will produce the following result

truncated value of 17.070000  is 17.000000
truncated value of 46.107000 is 46.000000
truncated value of 234.867000 is 234.000000

 

Program 2

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{   //define the variable
    double truncValue;
    double inputValue;
    //get input from user
    printf("Please enter the value to calculate trunc value :");
    scanf("%lf",&inputValue);
    //calculate the trunc value
    truncValue=trunc(inputValue);
    //display the trunc value
     printf("\nTruncated value of %lf is %lf\n",inputValue,truncValue);
    getch();
    return 0;
}

When the above program is compiled, it will produce the following result

Please enter the value to calculate trunc value :56.7899
Truncated value of 56.890 is 56.000000
