CINT Function
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Converts a numeric expression to an integer by rounding the fractional part
 of the expression.


 Syntax

  CINT( numeric-expression)


 Remarks

 If  numeric-expression is not between -32,768 and 32,767, inclusive,
 BASIC generates the run-time error message Overflow.

  CINT differs from the  FIX and  INT functions, which truncate, rather than
 round, the fractional part. See the example for the  INT function for an
 illustration of the differences among these functions.

 Example

 The following example converts an angle in radians to an angle in degrees
 and minutes.

 ' Set up constants for converting radians to degrees.
 CONST PI=3.141593, RADTODEG=180.-PI
 INPUT "Angle in radians = ",Angle' Get the angle in radians.
 Angle = Angle * RADTODEG' Convert radian input to degrees.
 Min = Angle - INT(Angle)' Get the fractional part.
 ' Convert fraction to value between 0 and 60.
 Min = CINT(Min * 60)
 Angle = INT(Angle)' Get whole number part.
 IF Min = 60 THEN' 60 minutes = 1 degree.
    Angle = Angle + 1
    Min = 0
 END IF
 PRINT "Angle equals"; Angle; "degrees"; Min; "minutes"


 Output

 Angle in radians = 1.5708
 Angle equals 90 degrees 0 minutes
