Converting Extended to Integer

[Borut Zagar]

Hi.

I use Delphi 5 and I dont know how to convert variables of type Extended to
other types, e.g. Integer.
I am sure it can be done, but Delphi 5 help is useless.

In my program I want to calculate mod between two variables of Extended
type. Can I do this in another way thaen converting these two variables to
integer and then do "a mod b"?

Thank you for your help,
Borut Zagar

Try Round, or Trunc. Whatever suits best.

Hi,

I would try it with an equation. As you probably know the mod operator can
be expressed as a mod b = a - a div b. So you can use the last statement to
express your mod operator on two Extended numbers. Just type

mod := a - Trunc(a / b);

Then you get your mod.
Good luck.

Trunc() introduces an extra Extended to Integer to Extended conversion.
Instead use:

mod := a - Int(a / b);
