real_to_int()

Performs a type cast from real number to integer number, which means it converts the passed ??real-number?? to an integer number and returns the latter as result value.

Any fractional value behind the decimal point of ??real-number?? is ignored by this conversion. So e.g. real_to_int(3.999) would return 3. If that's not what you want, then you might consider using e.g. round() or ceil() before doing the actual type conversion with this function.
