| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| number | Real | → | Number to be truncated |
| places | Integer | → | Number of decimal places used for truncating |
| Function result | Real | ← | Number with its decimal part truncated to the number of decimal places specified by Places |

If places is positive, number is truncated to places decimal places. If places is negative, number is truncated on the left of the decimal point.
Example
The following example illustrates how Trunc works with different arguments. Each line assigns a number to the vlResult variable. The comments describe the results:
vlResult:=Trunc(216.897;1) // vlResult gets 216.8
vlResult:=Trunc(216.897;-1) // vlResult gets 210
vlResult:=Trunc(-216.897;1) // vlResult gets –216.9
vlResult:=Trunc(-216.897;-1) // vlResult gets –220
