```{index} single: intify; Math::GMP function ``` ```{index} single: Math::GMP::intify; Perl function ``` # intify Return `$x` as a plain signed Perl integer. ## Synopsis ```perl my $n = Math::GMP->new(-42)->intify; # -42 ``` Truncates when `$x` does not fit in a platform `signed long`. For values outside that range use `get_str_gmp` or stringify to preserve precision.
