Convert decimal values to integers

Hi

If I want to assign the value 3 to an integer variable by doing 10/3 (and forgetting about the remainder) how would I do this? (Using C for my language)

Would

int x = 10/3;

always work?

Thanks

yes that works. Look up type casting for C/C++ to see what can be cast implicitly and what requires explicit conversions.

Yes, but if you want to be sure you could floor (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cmath/floor/) function. (I'm assuming that you aren't going to be assigning a constant that way, that the input is actually going to be dynamic.)
