TRUNCATE

division returning an integer by truncating toward 0 
Major Section:  PROGRAMMING


Example Forms:
ACL2 !>(truncate 14 3)

ACL2 !>(truncate -14 3)
-4
ACL2 !>(truncate 14 -3)
-4
ACL2 !>(truncate -14 -3)
4
ACL2 !>(truncate -15 -3)

(Truncate i j) is the result of taking the quotient of i and j and dropping the fraction. For example, the quotient of -14 by 3 is -4 2/3, so dropping the fraction 2/3, we obtain a result for (truncate -14 3) of -4.

The guard for (truncate i j) requires that i and j are rational (real, in ACL2(r)) numbers and j is non-zero.

Truncate is a Common Lisp function. See any Common Lisp documentation for more information.
