Hi,
this is a really simple problem, but I just can't find a solution.
How do you convert a float like 12.34 to a rounded integer like 12??
Thanks to whoever answers, your help is much appreciated

If you really want to round the number (i.e. 2.3->2 but 2.6->3) then you need to write your own function. e.g.:
I'm not sure if you strictly need all those casts, but my compiler gives me warnings if I don't include them, and I don't see the harm (maybe someone could tell me if there is a good reason for not explicitly stating casts - thanks!).Code:#include <math.h> int Round(float myfloat) { double integral; float fraction = (float)modf(myfloat, &integral); if (fraction >= 0.5) integral += 1; if (fraction <= -0.5) integral -= 1; return (int)integral; } int main(void) { float myfloat; int myint; myfloat = 2.3f; myint = (int)myfloat; printf("%d\n",myint); myfloat = 7.6f; myint = (int)myfloat; printf("%d\n",myint); printf("%d\n", Round(2.3f)); printf("%d\n", Round(7.6f)); return 0; }

thanks thats just what I needed,
many thanks
That would work, but this is much faster (no conditionals to slow you down):Originally posted by DavT

Works because x rounded to the nearest int is the same as the integer part of x + 0.5.Code:int Round(float myfloat) { return (int)(myFloat + 0.5); }
Isn't there a round function in C99?

Yes.7.12.9.6 The round functions
Synopsis
1 #include <math.h>
double round(double x);
float roundf(float x);
long double roundl(long double x);
Description
2 The round functions round their argument to the nearest integer value in floating-point format, rounding halfway cases away from zero, regardless of the current rounding direction.
Returns
3 The round functions return the rounded integer value.
7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
The only reason not to cast is because it can suppress more warnings than you meant to suppress. I wish I remembered the details/instances of it happening so I could tell you, but I don't.Originally posted by DavT

Away.
