Script functions trunc and frac

[AdemirMartins]

Martin,

Beautiful your work. Thanks a lot for your app.

Performing some calculations on a script I missed two simple functions:
- Int trunc (value): Returns only the integer part with his sign of a number
- Float frac (value): Returns only the fractional part of a number

Sorry if there is already some way to get it, but I searched and could not find it.

Hi,

Thanks, glad you like Automagic!

You could use function floor, ceil or round to get the nearest integer value, technically it's still a floating point number so will display as XYZ.0.
v=1.24;
a=floor(v);

If you want to get the integer part formatted without decimal places I recommend to use an inline script to define the format you need:
formatted_without_decimal_places = "{a,numberformat,0}";

Regards,
Martin

Hi,

I did some testing and found that the function round gives me the result I want.
Different than the definition says (that it rounds), it is only truncating... exactly what I need.
For example, both 3.1 and 3.9, results in pure 3.0

Thanks,

Ademir

Hi,

Are you sure that round truncates the value? On my test devices 3.9 is rounded to 4.0. Could you share your script so I can test it on my device?
