<dt><em>Description</em>:<dd><code>NINT(A)</code> rounds its argument to the nearest whole number.
<br><dt><em>Standard</em>:<dd>Fortran 77 and later, with <var>KIND</var> argument Fortran 90 and later
<br><dt><em>Class</em>:<dd>Elemental function
<br><dt><em>Syntax</em>:<dd><code>RESULT = NINT(A [, KIND])</code>
<br><dt><em>Arguments</em>:<dd>
<p><table summary=""><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>A</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">The type of the argument shall be <code>REAL</code>.
<br></td></tr><tr align="left"><td valign="top" width="15%"><var>KIND</var> </td><td valign="top" width="70%">(Optional) An <code>INTEGER</code> initialization
expression indicating the kind parameter of the result.
<br></td></tr></table>
<br><dt><em>Return value</em>:<dd>Returns <var>A</var> with the fractional portion of its magnitude eliminated by
rounding to the nearest whole number and with its sign preserved,
converted to an <code>INTEGER</code> of the default kind.
<br><dt><em>Example</em>:<dd>
<pre class="smallexample"> program test_nint
real(4) x4
real(8) x8
x4 = 1.234E0_4
x8 = 4.321_8
