When number is positive, the next smallest integer is returned; when number is negative, the next largest integer is returned. The required parameter, number, is any valid numeric expression.

Example

REM FIX Example
'FIX converts floats to int nearest 0
DIM Pos, Neg
Pos = EXP(1)
Neg = -EXP(1)
PRINT "FIX(e) = " & FIX(Pos)
PRINT "FIX(-e) = " & FIX(Neg)

Output
