Python math.trunc() method

math.trunc() method is a library method of math module, it is used to get the truncated integer value of a number, it accepts a number (either an integer or a float) and returns the real value truncated to an integral.

Note: If anything is passed except the number, the method returns a type error, if we pass a string – it will return "TypeError: type str doesn't define __trunc__ method"

Syntax of math.trunc() method:

    math.trunc(n)

Parameter(s): n – an integer or a float number.

Return value: int – it returns an integer value that is the integral part of the number n.

Example:

    Input:
    a = 10.23

    # function call
    print(math.trunc(a))

    Output:
    10

Python code to demonstrate example of math.trunc() method

# Python code demonstrate example of 
# math.trunc() method

# importing math module
import math

# numbers 
a = 10
b = 10.23
c = -10
d = -10.67
e = 10.67

# printing the fractional and integer part 
# of the numbers by using math.trunc()

print("trunc(a): ", math.trunc(a))
print("trunc(b): ", math.trunc(b))
print("trunc(c): ", math.trunc(c))
print("trunc(d): ", math.trunc(d))
print("trunc(e): ", math.trunc(e))

Output

trunc(a):  10
trunc(b):  10
trunc(c):  -10
trunc(d):  -10
trunc(e):  10
