How to read only the integer part of a variable???

agiakos 2018-02-21

Hello comunity,

I made this procedure to read the X position in meters.
Variable3 = get_actual_tcp_pose()
Variable4 = Variable3[0]*1000 %to get an integer part%

After that I want to sent this value to a register and I am writing set_modbus_register(adress,Variable4) but variable4 is not an integer. How can I make it into an integer?

thank you in advance

HI,
just copied from the UR-Script Manual:

ceil(f )
Returns the smallest integer value that is not less than f
Rounds floating point number to the smallest integer no greater than f.
Parameters
f: floating point value
Return Value
rounded integer

floor(f )

Returns largest integer not greater than f
Rounds floating point number to the largest integer no greater than f.

Parameters
f: floating point value

Return Value
rounded integer

If you use floor() you would only get the integer part of the number, will always return the largest integer no larger than the floating point number you supply.

Variable 4 = floor(Variable3[0]*1000)
