Frank, that is good question. I don't wanna sound foolish, but I honestly don't know what truncated means. I would say round up to remove the decimal. Again, this was suppose to be an "Intro" class, teach us the basic's, but our teacher is well, less than active.
If anything I'm just going to turn it in as is and take the deductions on the decimal points. This Unix stuff is not for me, I have no plans on pursuing this as a career.
