If

precision

is a positive integer, trunc returns

arg

with the number of decimal places specified by

precision

. If

precision

is a negative integer, trunc changes the specified digits to the left of the decimal point to zeros. If you omit the

precision

argument, trunc truncates the decimal portion of

arg

and returns an integer.

All trailing zeros after the decimal point in an argument will be truncated. For example, the following expression returns 2345.7535 as the result:

util:trunc(2345.75350000, 6)

For example, the following expression returns 1.234567812345679E7 as the result:
