integer()

Syntax

    (numericExpression).integer
    integer(numericExpression)

Description

Function; rounds the value of `numericExpression` to the nearest whole integer.

You can force an integer to be a string by using the `string()` function.

Example

This statement rounds off the number 3.75 to the nearest whole integer:

    put integer(3.75)
    -- 4

Example

This statement rounds off the value in parentheses. This provides a usable value for the `locH` sprite property, which requires an integer:

    sprite(1).locH = integer(0.333 * stageWidth)
