int

Block Category: Nonlinear

Input: Scalar

Description: The int block outputs only the integer portion of the input. The int block does not perform numerical round-off operations. Thus, an input of 2.9999 yields 2. Inputs can be scalar constants or scalar variables.

Label: Indicates a user-defined block label that appears when View > Block Labels is activated.

 

Example

1. Integer portions of scalar inputs

Consider three scalar inputs 1.7, 2.9999, and 3.0001. These inputs are applied to the int blocks, as shown below:

The int blocks isolate and output the integer portion of the scalar inputs.
