Convert decimal values to integers

[Advancedkill]

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 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.)
