8.16 ANINT — Nearest whole number

Description:
ANINT(A [, KIND]) rounds its argument to the nearest whole number.
Standard:
Fortran 77 and later
Class:
Elemental function
Syntax:
RESULT = ANINT(A [, KIND])
Arguments:

A The type of the argument shall be REAL.
KIND (Optional) An INTEGER initialization expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.

Return value:
The return value is of type real with the kind type parameter of the argument if the optional KIND is absent; otherwise, the kind type parameter will be given by KIND. If A is greater than zero, ANINT(A) returns AINT(X+0.5). If A is less than or equal to zero then it returns AINT(X-0.5).
Example:
          program test_anint
            real(4) x4
            real(8) x8
            x4 = 1.234E0_4
            x8 = 4.321_8
            print *, anint(x4), dnint(x8)
            x8 = anint(x4,8)
          end program test_anint
