rint(3M) Mathematical Library Functions rint(3M)NAME
rint, rintf, rintl - round-to-nearest integral value
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double rint(double x);
float rintf(float x);
long double rintl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions return the integral value (represented as a double) nearest x in the direction of the current rounding mode.
If the current rounding mode rounds toward negative infinity, rint() is equivalent to floor(3M). If the current rounding mode rounds toward
positive infinity, rint() is equivalent to ceil(3M).
These functions differ from the nearbyint(3M), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() functions only in that they might raise the inexact floating-
point exception if the result differs in value from the argument.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, these functions return the integer (represented as a double precision number) nearest x in the direction of the
current rounding mode.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.

NAME
rint, rintf, rintl - round-to-nearest integral value
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double rint(double x);
float rintf(float x);
long double rintl(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions shall return the integral value (represented as a double) nearest x in the direction of the current rounding mode. The cur-
rent rounding mode is implementation-defined.
If the current rounding mode rounds toward negative infinity, then rint() shall be equivalent to floor() . If the current rounding mode
rounds toward positive infinity, then rint() shall be equivalent to ceil() .
These functions differ from the nearbyint(), nearbyintf(), and nearbyintl() functions only in that they may raise the inexact floating-
point exception if the result differs in value from the argument.
An application wishing to check for error situations should set errno to zero and call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these
functions. On return, if errno is non-zero or fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an error
has occurred.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, these functions shall return the integer (represented as a double precision number) nearest x in the direction
of the current rounding mode.
If x is NaN, a NaN shall be returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x shall be returned.
If the correct value would cause overflow, a range error shall occur and rint(), rintf(), and rintl() shall return the value of the macro
+-HUGE_VAL, +-HUGE_VALF, and +-HUGE_VALL (with the same sign as x), respectively.
ERRORS
These functions shall fail if:
Range Error
The result would cause an overflow.
If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) is non-zero, then errno shall be set to [ERANGE]. If the integer expression
(math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, then the overflow floating-point exception shall be raised.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
On error, the expressions (math_errhandling & MATH_ERRNO) and (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) are independent of each other, but at
least one of them must be non-zero.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
