Int and Fix are both useful rounding functions, which give you the integer part of a number.

Int always rounds down - Int(3.5) = 3, Int(-3.5) = -4

Fix always rounds towards zero - Fix(3.5) = 3, Fix(-3.5) = -3

There's also the coercion functions, in particular CInt and CLng, which try to coerce a number to an integer type or a long type (integers are between -32,768 and 32,767, longs are between-2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647). These will both round towards the nearest whole number, rounding away from zero from .5 - CInt(3.5) = 4, Cint(3.49) = 3, CInt(-3.5) = -4, etc.
