This is all you need:
intPart =integer(myFloat - .5) floatPart =myFloat - intPart

Hi,
I have a floating point number, e.g. 45.6200, and I want to be able to store the whole number part and the fraction part separately, so that I can increment an integer value and keep the remainder (the fraction part) to be added on to a later increment value.
Does anyone know if there are any lingo commands for doing any of this - or have any ideas how else I might do this?
Maybe I could convert to a string and search for decimal point and extract numbers before that etc. but this seems a bit long winded.
Thanks in advance, John
