<p>The <nobr>cl:<b>truncate</b></nobr> function
<a href="../../reference/truncate.htm">truncate</a>s an integer or
<nobr>floating-point</nobr> number toward zero:</p>
<p><div class="box">
<dl>
<dt>(cl:<b>truncate</b> <i>number </i> [<i>divisor</i>])</dt>
<dd><i>number</i> - an integer or <nobr>floating-point</nobr> number<br>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody>

<pre class="example">
(defun <font color="#0000CC">cl:truncate</font> (number &optional (divisor (if (integerp number) 1 1.0)))
(let ((quotient (truncate (/ (float number) divisor))))

</pre>
<p>The <nobr>cl:<b>truncate</b></nobr> function computes a quotient that has
been truncated towards zero. <nobr>That is</nobr>, the quotient represents
the mathematical integer of the same sign as the mathematical quotient, and
that has the greatest integral magnitude not greater than that of the
mathematical quotient.</p>
<p>The quotient is directly returned by the function, while a list:</p>
<pre class="example">
(quotient remainder)
</pre>
<p>is stored in the Nyquist/XLISP
<a href="../../reference/global-rslt.htm">*rslt*</a> variable and the
<a href="global-multiple-values.htm">cl:*multiple-values*</a> is set to
<a href="../../reference/t.htm"> T </a> to signal that
<a href="multiple-values.htm">Multiple Values</a> are returned.</p>
<nobr>See
<a href="rounding-and-truncation.htm">Rounding and Truncation</a></nobr>
for more details.</p>
<p>Examples:</p>
<pre class="example">
(cl:truncate 3.5) => 0 <font color="#008844">; *rslt* => ( 3 0.5)</font>
(cl:truncate -3.5) => -3 <font color="#008844">; *rslt* => (-3 -0.5)</font>
</pre>
<p>Force an integer division:</p>
<pre class="example">
(cl:truncate 3.1 2.6) => 1 <font color="#008844">; *rslt* => (1 0.5)</font>
(/ 3 2) => 1
