removing decimal portion of a real number

[Homer Simpson]

I'm using VS2005 Beta 2 (C#) and would like to know how I can remove the
decimal portion (to the right of the decimal) of a real number. I want the
whole number portion but do not wish to discard the decimal portion; that
will be used for additional calcs.

Does C# have any methods for doing this?

Thanks,
Scott

Create a temp int and cast the real number to it, or use the cast in an expression.

using System;

class CastToInt {

public static int Main(string[] args) {

double pi = 3.14159265358979;

int nPi = (int)pi;

Console.WriteLine("pi = {0} and pi cast to int = {1}", pi, nPi);

Console.WriteLine("pi = {0} and pi cast to int = {1}", pi, (int)pi);

Console.Write("\nPress Enter to continue...");

Console.Read();

return 0;

}

}

Agreed.

Another option is the Math.floor() function.
