I just want to say it's nice to see such a friendly and responsive forum. I will have to read and experiment a lot with newlisp before I can hope to be of any help to other beginners.

I concur. But truncating to the integer part (or rounding towards zero) is a very funny thing to do in a mathematical sense. For instance, It means if you plot the function, you see an irregular section of the plot around zero. This irregularity can be the source of strange bugs if you are not const...

Hi!

The newlisp manual says:

Floating point values in arguments to +, -, *, /, and % are truncated to their floor value.

Since for instance the floor of -1.1 is -2 I would take this to mean (+ -1.1 -2.2) should equal -5, not -3.

Is it just me or is this a bug or a typo in the manual?
