How can I get INTeger from float


Folks,

If I have a number that includes decimal points and I want to remove
everything right of the decimal, how do I do it - I know I could explode
using the point as a delimiter but that doesn't look legal.

I've tried

$t=1.532;
$y=int($t);
but that didn't work out for me...

any ideas?

thanks

Many thanks - I never heard of the function before nor would I have ever
guessed it.

Cheers.

you were close yourself anyway:

$t=1.532;
$y=(int)$t;

should work too

Hi Gents, This is what I am trying to do. Say you have a double or a float with the value 14.5624 for example. How could I take that variable and get the 14 into an integer variable and the .5624 into a double or float? The reason is because of converting decimal locations into DMS. Math is simple....

hi, i'm new to MS Visual Studio and C++ but not to C programming in general. i'm trying to divide two integers and get their actual quotient (eg 5/3 = 1.666667 etc). i thought i had type cast correctly, but please let me know, because it appears to be rounding off. my code follows. Thanks! void DrawLine(GLint x1, GLint y1, GLint x2, GLint y2) { int i, pk, dy, dx, yc, xc, inc, temp;

Greetings, I have a question about parsing a fixed-width integer from a string. Lines of data are being read from a file having a very strict column-delimited format. In my example below, columns 0-7 are an integer and columns 8-23 are a float. In _most_ files, the first few columns of the float are blank space to make it human readable. But not always. So, once they have been read from the file, I try to parse out the different...

Suppose that I have an integer division problem, but I want the answer was a float. What's the cleanest syntax for that? Example: In this code, the variable z ends up == 0. And that is correct, because this is integer division and the values are trunc'd. No problem. But what's the most elegant code given that x and y have to be ints, and I want z to be a float or double? Code:

I have this functions, c3 and c2 that computes and return a float number. The problem is that wen I pass the result of c2 (float number) to c3(), in function apears to be an integer. Ex.: $calc2=c2(params); (float number) $calc3=c3($calc2); ($calc2 - float number) echo $calc3; (is not the number that supposed to be, because c4 computes $calc2 as if it were an integer: if $calc=39.96 it wil be converted in 39).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
