    truncation...

    well all i want to know is the function that allows you to change lets say 6.984924829 to 6... in other words i would like to truncate the number ...

    you dont need a function if you assign that value to an int, it will lose the decimal part.
    Code:
    double dnum = 6.984924829 ;
    int inum;
    
    inum = dnum;   /* inum has a value of 6 */
    or you could use the same variable like
    Code:
    double dnum = 6.984924829 ;
    
    dnum = (int)dnum;   /* dnum now has a value of 6.0 */
    All spelling mistakes, syntatical errors and stupid comments are intentional.
