Hi,
The description of trunc reads:
These functions round x to the nearest integer not larger in absolute value.
Which is confusing, can we just say
These functions round x to the nearest integer less than the absolute
value of x.
so round (1.2) becomes 1.0? and round(-1.2) becomes -1.0?
I encounter this description style every now and then in man pages and
its really confusing.
I would search for all instances of "not larger than" and "not less
than" and change them to a simplified description.
There are other descriptions using different sentence structures that
are also like this but use double negatives.
if i come across them again I will let you know.
Thanks
