IPART gets the Integer part:

12.34  -+AD4-  12
-7.12 -+AD4- -7

INT does:

12.34 -+AD4-  12
-7.12 -+AD4- -8

It get's the largest smaller or equal integer.

Try reading your manual once in a while...

+AD4-When will anyone realize that it's not ipart, but int that gets the
integer
+AD4-part of a number.
+AD4-ipart gets the IMAGINARY part. I don't think rand makes imaginary
numbers.
+AD4-I've had to correct a few basic games that made this same mistake.
