Kokonaisarvoon

Kokonaisarvoon is a Finnish linguistic form used to indicate the result or destination of converting or mapping a value into an integer value. The base term kokonaisarvo means an integer or whole-number value, with kokonaisluku being the more common term for the integer itself. The illative case ending -on in kokonaisarvoon expresses direction toward that integer value, for example in instructions or descriptions such as converting a number to an integer value.

In mathematical and computational contexts, kokonaisarvoon describes the process of turning a real or non-integer quantity into an integer. This can be done by various methods, including truncation toward zero, floor, ceiling, or rounding to the nearest integer. The choice of method affects the resulting integer and is often specified by the problem or programming language in use.

In programming languages, converting or casting to an integer is a common operation described in Finnish as transforming a value kokonaisarvoon. The operation maps a numeric value to an integer value, typically discarding any fractional part or applying a defined rounding rule. Examples in practice include functions or operators that perform int conversion or casting, which effectively produce a value that belongs to the set of kokonaisarvot.

Overall, kokonaisarvoon denotes the act of obtaining or expressing a value as an integer, a fundamental concept in arithmetic, data processing, and programming.
