ee.Number.int

  • Theint() method casts a number to a signed 32-bit integer within the range of [-2147483648, 2147483647].

  • Casting a floating point number to int loses decimal precision.

  • Numbers outside the 32-bit integer range are cast to the maximum or minimum value within the range.

 Casts the input value to a signed 32-bit integer.

UsageReturns
Number.int()Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this:inputNumberThe input value.
