displaying only whole numbers nothing after decimal

I'm trying to figure out how to display my output without any numbers beyond the whole number no decimal. for instance my code will display 72.20 degrees and I just want the 72 not the decimal or what comes beyond.

Hey,

I would 10/10 recommend you post the code that you're working with on here.

My first guess would be that you're using doubles instead of ints, the latter of which would give you nothing past the decimal point, which seems to be what you're looking for.

Hope that helps.

Post code inline, using code tags, as described in "How to use this forum".

When using Serial.print or Serial.println with floats, you can add an argument to specify the number of digits to display after the comma

Example

Serial.print (h, 0);

would display 10 if h was equal to 10.965

I believe it's the same with tft.print
Try it...

No, it prints "11"

The simplest approach is to change the variable type to int.

Try this

  float aFloat = 123.55;
  Serial.println(floor(aFloat),0);

Hello,

Im sorry I thought I attached my code in my first message. Thank you for the replies without it.

See code as follows

PaulS:

so use int instead of float?

I don't quite understand the language so can you elaborate using my code?

@everone yeah that’s it! int should do the trick.
As for the request—I’d suggest trying find and replace first, then trying to sort out any issues. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to post again!

So for instance just remove the float from below and replace it with int?
float h = dht.readHumidity();

float t = dht.readTemperature();

as follows

int h = dht.readHumidity();

int t = dht.readTemperature();

please elaborate on the syntax is the above correct?

Yes that worked thank you all
