Round and convert float to integer?

[skweetis]

Hey all,

Im looking for an easy way to round a decimal number to a whole number in lua , any hints?

Cheers!

To simply round a number you can use math.floor(x + .5). No actual "conversion" is necessary though since lua does not differentiate between integers and floats (all numbers are represented internally as doubles.)

awesome, thank you!

gotcha, searched through the document again and found the index with all the math and other functions listed.... can't believe I missed it...

it's also possible to round up, or to the closest whole number, iirc. Take a look in Lua's math standard library
