    Default Extracting whole number digits from a float

    I need to extract the whole number digits from a number that has decimal point. for example I need only the first 3 digits of a number like 143.454369 which will be 143. I can get it by dividing it with its place value but the problem is that the number will be supplied by the user in my program.

    so I don't know how long the number will be and how to divide it by place value.

    please help.

    Have you tried casting the number to an int?

    Nope, forgot it but after you've reminded me of casting integer, I did it and the code worked. Thank you so much.
