@node Rounding Operations
@section Rounding Operations
@cindex rounding without conversion

The functions @code{ffloor}, @code{fceil}, @code{fround} and
@code{ftruncate} take a floating point argument and return a floating
point result whose value is a nearby integer.  @code{ffloor} returns the
nearest integer below; @code{fceil}, the nearest integer above;
@code{ftruncate}, the nearest integer in the direction towards zero;
@code{fround}, the nearest integer.

@defun ffloor float
This function rounds @var{float} to the next lower integral value, and
returns that value as a floating point number.
@end defun

@defun fceil float
This function rounds @var{float} to the next higher integral value, and
returns that value as a floating point number.
@end defun

@defun ftruncate float
