# PetscIntSumTruncate

Computes the sum of two positive `PetscInt` and truncates the value to slightly less than the maximal possible value

## Synopsis

    static inline PetscInt PetscIntSumTruncate(PetscInt a, PetscInt b)

Not Collective; No Fortran Support

## Input Parameters

- a - the `PetscInt` value

- b - the second value

## Returns

The result as a `PetscInt` value

## Notes

Use `PetscInt64Mult()` to compute the product of two `PetscInt` as a `PetscInt64`

Use `PetscRealIntMultTruncate()` to compute the product of a `PetscReal` and a `PetscInt` and truncate to fit a `PetscInt`

Use `PetscIntMultError()` to compute the product of two `PetscInt` if you wish to generate an error if the result will not fit in a `PetscInt`

## Developer Note

This is used where we compute approximate sizes for workspace and need to insure the workspace is index-able.
