Explanation:

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() method. In the Main() method we created two local variables num1, num2 that are initialized with 3.26 and 0 respectively.

num2 = Math.Truncate(num1)
Console.WriteLine("Truncated value: {0}", num2)

Here, we used the Truncate() method of Math class. The Truncate() method will truncate the value of variable num1 and assigned to the variable num2, and then we printed the value of num2 on the console screen.
