Rint

Defined in header <cmath>.

Description

Rounds the floating-point argument num to an integer value (in floating-point format), using the current rounding mode.
​The library provides overloads of std::rint for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter num  (since C++23).

​Rounding to long and Rounding to long long Rounds the floating-point argument num to an integer value, using the current rounding mode.
​The library provides overloads of std::lrint and std::llrint for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter num  (since C++23)

​Additional Overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.

Parameters

​num - floating-point or integer value

Return value

If no errors occur, the nearest integer value to num, according to the current rounding mode, is returned

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the result of std::lrint or std::llrint is outside the range representable by the return type, a domain error or a range error may occur.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559):

For the std::rint function:

If num is ±∞, it is returned, unmodified
If num is ±0, it is returned, unmodified
If num is NaN, NaN is returned

For std::lrint and std::llrint functions:

If num is ±∞, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned
If the result of the rounding is outside the range of the return type, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned
If num is NaN, FE_INVALID is raised and an implementation-defined value is returned

Notes

POSIX specifies that all cases where std::lrint or std::llrint raise FE_INEXACT are domain errors.

as specified in math_errhandling, FE_INEXACT may be (but isn't required to be on non-IEEE floating-point platforms) raised by std::rint when rounding a non-integer finite value.

The only difference between std::rint and std::nearbyint is that std::nearbyint never raises FE_INEXACT.

The largest representable floating-point values are exact integers in all standard floating-point formats, so std::rint never overflows on its own; however the result may overflow any integer type (including std::intmax_t), when stored in an integer variable.

If the current rounding mode is:

FE_DOWNWARD, then std::rint is equivalent to std::floor. FE_UPWARD, then std::rint is equivalent to std::ceil. FE_TOWARDZERO, then std::rint is equivalent to std::trunc FE_TONEAREST, then std::rint differs from std::round in that halfway cases are rounded to even rather than away from zero.

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as Additional Overloads. They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type:

std::rint(num) has the same effect as std::rint(static_cast<double>(num)).
std::lrint(num) has the same effect as std::lrint(static_cast<double>(num)).
std::llrint(num) has the same effect as std::llrint(static_cast<double>(num)).

Possible Result

rounding to nearest (halfway cases to even): 

rint(+2.3) = 2  
rint(+2.5) = 2  
rint(+3.5) = 4
rint(-2.3) = -2  
rint(-2.5) = -2  
rint(-3.5) = -4

rounding down:

rint(+2.3) = 2  
rint(+2.5) = 2  
rint(+3.5) = 3
rint(-2.3) = -3  
rint(-2.5) = -3  
rint(-3.5) = -4

rounding down with lrint:

lrint(+2.3) = 2  
lrint(+2.5) = 2  
lrint(+3.5) = 3
lrint(-2.3) = -3  
lrint(-2.5) = -3  
lrint(-3.5) = -4
lrint(-0.0) = 0
lrint(-Inf) = -9223372036854775808
std::rint(0.1) = 0
FE_INEXACT was raised
std::lrint(LONG_MIN-2048.0) = -9223372036854775808
FE_INVALID was raised
