Round:
Basic syntax and crystal syntax.
Overload:
Round (X)
Round (x, # places)
Parameter: X is the number or currency to be rounded down. # Places is an integer that represents the number of decimal places X is rounded.
Return: Number
Operation: If the # places parameter is ignored, round is rounded to the nearest integer. If the value to the right of the decimal point is less than or equal to. 499, the program rounds the number to the next minimum number. If the value on the right of the decimal point is equal to or greater than. 5, the program rounding to the next maximum number.
If the # places parameter is used, the value in X is rounded to the nearest decimal place specified by # places. Specifying the # places parameter as 0 is the same as not using the # places parameter. You can also specify a negative number for # places. This number is rounded to the nearest ten, hundreds, or thousands, and so on.
Typical usage: When rounding a value to a specific decimal point is more appropriate than using the original value, you can use the round function at any time.

For more information, see round.
Truncate:
Truncate and fix are equivalent functions. However, truncate is the first choice in crystal syntax, while fix is the first choice in basic syntax.
Overload:
Truncate (X)
Truncate (x, # places)
Parameter: X is the number or currency to be truncated. # Places is an integer that indicates the number of decimal places to be retained after the value is truncated. (This parameter is optional .)
Return: Number
Operation: truncate (x) returns a decimal or integer by truncating the number from the decimal point. If the # places parameter is specified, the number is truncated to the specified number of decimal places, and the function returns a decimal number. If # places is a negative number, the number is rounded to the first ten or hundreds of digits, and so on.
Typical usage: this function can be used as long as the report or calculation does not require the characters on the Right of decimal places.

If you have 147 golf balls in stock and want to know the number of hits available for sale, the calculation process is 147/12 = 12.25 12.25 (after truncation) = 12, so 12 hits are available for sale. If only the number of hits is used to sell the ball, the cut-off. 25 hits do not matter.
Truncate ({file. Ball inventory}/12)
Return 12, where ball inventory = 147 (147/12 = 12.25, after 12.25 truncation = 12 ).
Truncate ({file. Ball inventory}/12)
Return 12, where ball inventory = 155 (155/12 = 12.92, after 12.92 truncation = 12 ).
Truncate ({file. Ball inventory}/12)
Return 13, where ball inventory = 157 (157/12 = 13.08, 13.08 after truncation = 13 ).
Note: This is not a rounding function. truncate only deletes all characters on the right of the decimal point. For details about rounding, see round.
For truncate (N) and INT (number), when n (number) is negative, truncate returns the first integer greater than or equal to n, int returns the first integer less than or equal to n. In addition, they are meanings. For example,
Truncate (-1, 10.2)
Returns-10.
INT (-1, 10.2)
Returns-11.
Truncation can also be used as a format option for numeric values in a field. The field Formatting Function may affect the use of the value in the formula. For more information about converting to numbers and currencies, see tonumber and to currency operators.

Overload:
RND ()
RND (SEED)
Parameter: seed is an optional numeric value parameter.
Return Value: a numeric value.
Operation: RND returns a random number greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1. If seed is equal to 0, RND returns the random number returned from the previous call to RND. If seed is not provided or greater than 0, RND returns the next random number in the internally generated random number sequence. If seed is less than 0, RND uses this seed value to start a new random number sequence and returns the first value in this sequence.
Typical usage: this function is used when the formula requires random numbers (such as statistical calculation or random selection of records to limit the data in the report.
Note: This function is similar to a function of the same name in Visual Basic. You can call RND without specifying the negative seed parameter to enable the new random number sequence. In this case, the program uses the system clock to generate an internal seed. by calling the RND with the negative seed parameter, the program enables the new random number sequence without parameters (or with a positive parameter) the reason for calling RND is that the report looks exactly the same as that in the preview. In other words, it allows you to make full use of random numbers, but the results can be reproduced.
