Stata Int. Stata like most software holds numeric data to finite precision and in binary form. Floor ceil and round are equivalent to stata s functions of the same name.
If you have a string variable that has maximum length 6 it would waste memory to store it as a str20. Description recast changes the storage type of the variables identified in varlist to type. See the discussion in u 13 11 precision and problems therein.

If you have a string variable that has maximum length 6 it would waste memory to store it as a str20. Relationship to stata s functions trunc is equivalent to stata s int function. Associated with each type of data is its storage type i e. Similarly byte int and long are usually used to hold integers.
