Change float to int

Change a float to int
in Objective-C

The Code
float valueFloat = slider.value;
int valueInt = (int) valueFloat;

Explanation
1-The inital value is received from a slider in the App (slider.value).

• That inital value received is 3.1415 and have 4 decimals (1415).
• That’s what we call in programming a  »float ».

2-The slider.value 3.1415 is than transfer to the valueFloat (3.1415).

• Yes they have the same value!

3-The valueFloat 3.1415 is then transfer to (int) valueFloat (3).

• The (int) is saying to the valueFloat to remove the decimals.
• The value is now 3.

4-The valueInt receive the number (3) with no decimal that was cut buy (int) valueFloat.

• Now, you can use a  »int » that by his nature does’t support decimals.

Notes:

You can’t transfer a slider value with decimals directly to a  »int ».

That’s why we use a  »float » as a mediator to access the value.

If you had a value of 3.999 in the world of  »int » the result would be 3 (int = 3).
