([int v] of (9))

What it do?

ErnieParke · 2012-09-28 21:26:07

Hmmm… I can't find that block in Scratch 1.4. Where did you find it?

its in the 2.0 alpha

same thing as floor, it truncates/rounds down

777w · 2012-09-28 22:48:46

i think you should save 2.0 questions for when 2.0 actually comes out

why?
wouldn't it be helpful for the scratch team if they were to see this to know what people find confusing and would need documentation?

So why do they have both then

My question exactly.
What does int mean?
In C and C++ and a couple other C languages, int means an integer.

In TI-Basic, it actually means the same as ipart(x), round down. Maybe its just a duplicate they forgot to remove?

Firedrake969 · 2012-09-29 10:00:59

Yea, it's a duplicate. Closing.

yes, it means integer pretty universally
so what it does is casts a number into an integer via truncation (cutting off all the decimals, or rounding down)

it's equivalent to doing this in java:

int x = (int) 3.45209

I don't speak Java.
So it's a duplicate block?

No. Round () rounds to the nearest whole number while this block rounds down. For example, ( int of (6.99) ) is the same as 6.

I meant floor.

i think you mean int of 6.99 is 6

That was a typo. Thanks for catching it!

I'm actually quite confused about this too.

If it's anything like python, int would turn floats and numerical strings into integers, but floor would only work on floats/integers.

I'm not sure what their purpose is.
