s16()

Converts the given number to a signed 16-bit integer (`int16`) by rounding to the nearest whole number and typecasting.

If the number exceeds the range of an `int16` (-32,768 to 32,767), it will wrap due to typecasting.

Syntax

s16(value)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
value	Number	Numeric value to convert to int16.

Return Value

A signed 16-bit integer (`int16`), with potential wrapping behavior if out of range.

Examples

s16(12345.6);   // returns 12346

s16(-40000);    // returns 25536 (wrap)

s16(70000);     // returns 4464 (wrap)
