Real Integer Conversion. HP prime G2 -Langage HP PPL

[wChris79_DS]

 Hello, I would  like to know how to convert the default Real type to Integer type (INT) from the INPUT command. I need it to then apply other instructions that only apply to Integers. I specify that I have an HP Prime G2 calculator. And that I use the HP PPL language. Thank you.

Hi wChris79_DS,

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand that you are facing an issue with your computer, I am glad to assist you today.

To convert a REAL type to an INTEGER type in HP Prime's HP PPL (HP Prime Programming Language), you can use the ROUND or TRUNC functions to get an integer value from a real number. Here’s how you can do it:

Using ROUND: This function rounds a real number to the nearest integer. For example:

Using TRUNC: This function truncates the decimal part and keeps only the integer part of the real number. For example:

Using INT: This function can also be used to convert a real number to an integer by truncating the decimal part.

Make sure to choose the method that best fits your needs based on whether you want to round or simply truncate the decimal part. Once you have your integer value, you can proceed with instructions that require integer input.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Copy code

input := 3.7;      // This is your real number integer_value := INT(input); // Converts it to integer

Copy code

input := 3.7;      // This is your real number integer_value := TRUNC(input); // Converts it to integer

Copy code

input := 3.7;      // This is your real number integer_value := ROUND(input); // Converts it to integer
