Saturating truncation
Learn Saturating truncation in WebAssembly through the exact construct, a dedicated example, a boundary case, and a mastery check.
Saturating truncation is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Advanced Numeric. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.
Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on Saturating truncation rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.
Topic-specific example
(module (func (export "to_i32") (param f64) (result i32) local.get 0 i32.trunc_sat_f64_s))
For Saturating truncation, check operand/result types and trap conditions. WebAssembly validation is strict even when the surrounding host code is permissive.
