how can i truncate a value to an int regardless of the fraction ? i
looked thoroughly in the ASLanguageGuide but couldn't find anything.
Here are some possibilities
set i to 9.5 div 1
set i to round 9.5 rounding down
set i to round 9.5 rounding toward zero
The difference between the second and third is how they treat negative
numbers. The second will round -9.5 to -10, and the third will round
-9.5 to -9
I don't see any difference between the first and the third, though.
