Casting with
(int)
:- When you cast a
double
orfloat
toint
directly using(int)
, it truncates the fractional part, essentially performing a floor operation if the number is positive, but a ceiling operation if the number is negative. - For example:
double x = 3.7; int y = (int)x; // y will be 3 x = -3.7; y = (int)x; // y will be -3
- When you cast a

Using
floor
:- The
floor
function returns the largest integer value less than or equal to the given number. It always rounds down towards negative infinity. - For example:
double x = 3.7; double y = floor(x); // y will be 3.0 x = -3.7; y = floor(x); // y will be -4.0

Combining
(int)
withfloor
:- When you combine
(int)
withfloor
, you first round down the number to the largest integer less than or equal to the given number, then cast it to an integer. This ensures the same rounding behavior regardless of whether the number is positive or negative. - For example:
double x = 3.7; int y = (int)floor(x); // y will be 3 x = -3.7; y = (int)floor(x); // y will be -4
- When you combine
In the context of the find_deviation_parameters
function, using (int)floor(potential_M + 0.5)
ensures that potential_M
is rounded to the nearest integer before casting it to an int
. This is because adding 0.5 to a number and then applying floor
effectively rounds the number to the nearest integer.
Here is the refined code snippet ensuring that DEVIATION_M
is rounded to the nearest integer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <float.h> // For DBL_MAX
#define FXOSC 27000000.0 // 27 MHz
int find_deviation_parameters(double f_dev, int *DEVIATION_M, int *DEVIATION_E) {
// Calculate the constant K
double K = (f_dev * pow(2.0, 17)) / FXOSC;
// Initialize variables to find the closest match
double closest_f_dev_diff = DBL_MAX;
int best_DEVIATION_M = -1, best_DEVIATION_E = -1;
// Iterate over possible values of DEVIATION_E
for (int DEVIATION_E_local = 0; DEVIATION_E_local < 8; DEVIATION_E_local++) {
// Calculate the potential DEVIATION_M value
double potential_M = K / pow(2.0, DEVIATION_E_local) - 8.0;
// Check if potential_M is within the valid range (0 to 7)
if (potential_M >= 0 && potential_M < 8) {
// Calculate the actual deviation frequency for this pair
double actual_f_dev = (FXOSC / pow(2.0, 17)) * (8 + (int)floor(potential_M + 0.5)) * pow(2.0, DEVIATION_E_local);
double f_dev_diff = fabs(f_dev - actual_f_dev);
// Check if this is the closest match so far
if (f_dev_diff < closest_f_dev_diff) {
closest_f_dev_diff = f_dev_diff;
best_DEVIATION_M = (int)floor(potential_M + 0.5);
best_DEVIATION_E = DEVIATION_E_local;
}
// If potential_M is an integer within the valid range (0 to 7), we have an exact match
if (fabs(potential_M - floor(potential_M + 0.5)) < DBL_EPSILON) {
*DEVIATION_M = (int)floor(potential_M + 0.5);
*DEVIATION_E = DEVIATION_E_local;
return 1; // Success with an exact match
}
}
}
// Return the closest match found
*DEVIATION_M = best_DEVIATION_M;
*DEVIATION_E = best_DEVIATION_E;
return 1; // Success with the closest match
}
int main() {
double f_dev = 4943.848; // Example frequency deviation
int DEVIATION_M, DEVIATION_E;
if (find_deviation_parameters(f_dev, &DEVIATION_M, &DEVIATION_E)) {
printf("DEVIATION_M: %d, DEVIATION_E: %d\n", DEVIATION_M, DEVIATION_E);
} else {
printf("No valid DEVIATION_M and DEVIATION_E found.\n");
}
// Test with a slightly different frequency deviation
f_dev = 4943.84;
if (find_deviation_parameters(f_dev, &DEVIATION_M, &DEVIATION_E)) {
printf("DEVIATION_M: %d, DEVIATION_E: %d\n", DEVIATION_M, DEVIATION_E);
} else {
printf("No valid DEVIATION_M and DEVIATION_E found.\n");
}
return 0;
}
Summary:
- Direct Casting
(int)
truncates the decimal part and may not work correctly for negative numbers. floor
always rounds down to the nearest integer.- Combining
(int)
withfloor
ensures rounding to the nearest integer when adding 0.5, which ensures consistency and correctness in both positive and negative ranges.
This updated function should provide more consistent results for different f_dev
values.
