	In some formulas, instead of truncating to a whole number, values may be truncated to {{math\|''n''}} digits after the decimal point. In mathematical terms this is the {{math\|trunc(''x'', ''n'')}} function. On the wiki this may also be described as "{{math\|trunc to 0.XX}}" for 2 digits, etc.		In some formulas, instead of truncating to a whole number, values may be truncated to {{math\|''n''}} digits after the decimal point.

			== Wiki Expressions ==

			GSWiki supports inline expression parsing using <code>trunc</code>.

			*<code><nowiki>{{#expr: trunc(1.234)}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#expr: trunc(1.234)}}
			<code><nowiki>{{#expr: trunc(1.234 100) / 100}}</nowiki></code> produces {{#expr: trunc(1.234 * 100) / 100}}

'''Truncation''' or '''trunc''' is a mathematical term that appears frequently in [[GemStone IV]] equations that do everything from figuring out a character's [[mana point]] total to how many [[premium point]]s it costs to [[enchant]] an item.

			To truncate a number, remove all decimal places after the whole number (integer) without rounding. Thus, 6.1 and 6.9 would both be 6 when truncated.
⚫	;Example
	<div {{prettydiv}}>Enchanting plain item (+5 added) with a starting enchant bonus of +16 to +45<br>1200 + (400 * trunc((current plus - 11) / 5)))= Total premium points required</div><br>

'''Trunc''' is a mathematical term that is short for '''truncate''' and appears frequently in [[GemStone IV]] equations that do everything from figuring out a character's [[mana point]] total to how many [[premium point]]s it costs to [[enchant]] an item. For GemStone IV purposes, when one truncates, he/she removes all decimal places after the whole number (integer) without rounding. Thus, 6.1 and 6.9 would both be 6 when truncated.

;Example
<div {{prettydiv}}>Enchanting plain item (+5 added) with a starting enchant bonus of +16 to +45<br>1200 + (400 * trunc((current plus - 11) / 5)))= Total premium points required</div><br>
<div {{prettydiv}}>For this example we'll use a "current plus" of 20 (the item is standard 4x enchanted).<br>1200 + (400 * trunc((20 - 11) / 5))) = 1200 + (400 * trunc(9/5)) = 1200 + (400 * '''trunc(1.8)''') = 1200 + (400 * 1) = 1200 + 400 = '''1600'''</div>
