Hello guys,
is there a way to declare global variables as float and then convert them to int to be used in a function? i.e.
is there a way to declare global variables as float and then convert them to int to be used in a function? i.e.
float num1, num2, result;
float Mod(){
num1%num2=result; //Wrong, (%) requires int type)
} MSVC++

Also, keep in mind that variables can be typecasted. For example:
I think I did that right, anyways.

something like this should work:
myfloat <- float
myint <- int
myint = 0;
while(myfloat >= 1){
myint++;
myfloat--;
}
Something like that would do the trick... I might have my reasoning a little of but I'm sure that it would work.

Eg:
float x = 9.879;
int y = (int)x; //y will be 9
you can do it the other way around too.
x=(float)y;
Usually float and int can be assigned to each other as C++ normally does that type casting automatically
Hello
you can use a most c++ powerful operator
int a;
float numq = 60.7;
a = static_cast<int> (num1);
i don't now why poeple here don't use a c++ feature the are using a c-style

Here's a quick article on why to use C++ casting:

For this problem, though, a C-style cast isn't very dangerous since we're only dealing with numeric types--the really bad stuff happens when you're casting pointers to classes.
