Quoting J. Scott Hildebrand (jshildebrand@ucdavis.edu):

inside my external i have t_float secondfloat; t_float firstfloat;

because they're inlets. i need to convert those to int, basically i need to truncate the decimal part. how do i do that? thanks,

Maybe I did not get your question right. This is very elementary C.

If you want to just truncate the decimal part of a floating point variable you just cast it to int:

int firstint=(int)firstfloat; int secondint=(int)secondfloat;

If you want to have the nearest integer, this is what you need

int firstint=(int)(firstfloat+0.5); int secondint=(int)(secondfloat+0.5);

In the hope of being useful...
