<em>fix</em>(&lt;expression&gt;)

The operator <em>fix</em> returns the integer part of its argument, if that 
argument has a numerical value. For positive numbers, this is equivalent 
to 
<A HREF=r37_0084.html>floor</A>, and, for negative numbers, 
<A HREF=r37_0073.html>ceiling</A>. For 
non-numeric arguments, the value is an expression in the original operator.
