'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function Truncate( _
   ByVal input As TdDecimal, _
   ByVal position As Integer _
) As TdDecimal

'Usage
 
Dim input As TdDecimal
Dim position As Integer
Dim value As TdDecimal
 
value = TdDecimal.Truncate(input, position)

public static TdDecimal Truncate( 
   TdDecimal input,
   int position
)

public:
static TdDecimal Truncate( 
   TdDecimal input,
   int position
) 

Parameters

input

The TdDecimal structure to be truncated.

position

The decimal position to which the number will be truncated.

Return Value

A TdDecimal of TdDecimal.Null will return as TdDecimal.Null.

Truncation will only occur in the fractional part (digits to the left of decimal point) of a number. Therefore, position must be greater than or equal to 0.

The following is an example of truncating a number:

TdDecimal value = TdDecimal.Parse("10242954.9352");
              
// Truncating at position 2 results in 10242954.93
TdDecimal result = TdDecimal.Truncate(value, 2);
            
// Truncating at position 0 reslts in 10242954
result = TdDecimal.Truncate(value, 0);
            
try
{
    // An ArgumentOutOfRangeException will be thrown if a negative value for position is specified.
    result = TdDecimal.Truncate(value, -1);
}
catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
{
    Console.WriteLine("A negative number cannot be specified for the position");
}
