The “trunc” Function in R

• Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

• Purpose: To truncate numeric values towards zero, effectively removing the decimal part.

• General Class: Mathematical Computation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A numeric vector or value to be truncated.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  values <- c(3.14, -2.718, 5.55)
  
  # Truncate towards zero
  truncated_values <- trunc(values)
  
  print(truncated_values)

• In this example, trunc is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to truncate numeric values towards zero, effectively removing the decimal part. The x argument is the required numeric vector or value to be truncated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector or value that has been truncated towards zero.
