Removing a decimal

Hi! I'm creating a project where I won't to remove the decimal from a number (but I do NOT want to round it). Say I have a number that is 4.9, I would like it to read 4. I have tried several formulas with little success. I know in some languages you can use the int() function. I don't think Scratch has that (or am I missing something)?

Re: Removing a decimal

Heh heh...

Code:

[set [NUM] to (round (YOURNUM))]
[if ((NUM) > (YOURNUM))]
[change [NUM] by (-1)]

That should help.

Re: Removing a decimal

Thanks. :-0

I was trying all of the stuff with mod, and I didn't realize it was that simple. Still, Scratch should have an int() function.

Re: Removing a decimal

Your right. We also need a ( ) ^ ( ) block.
