Decimal.Truncate(Decimal) Method

Definition

Returns the integral digits of the specified Decimal; any fractional digits are discarded.

public:
 static System::Decimal Truncate(System::Decimal d);
public:
 static System::Decimal Truncate(System::Decimal d) = System::Numerics::IFloatingPoint<System::Decimal>::Truncate;
public static decimal Truncate (decimal d);
static member Truncate : decimal -> decimal
Public Shared Function Truncate (d As Decimal) As Decimal

Parameters

d
Decimal

The decimal number to truncate.

Returns

The result of d rounded toward zero, to the nearest whole number.

Implements

Examples

The following code example uses the Truncate method to discard the fractional digits of several Decimal values.

// Example of the Decimal::Negate, Decimal::Floor, and 
// Decimal::Truncate methods.

   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "Decimal::Floor( Argument )", Decimal::Floor( Argument ) );
   Console::WriteLine( dataFmt, "Decimal::Truncate( Argument )", Decimal::Truncate( Argument ) );

Remarks

This method rounds d toward zero, to the nearest whole number, which corresponds to discarding any digits after the decimal point.
