%var = mFloor(2.42);

Floor(x) is the largest integer that is <= x
Ceiling(x) is the smallest integer >= x

MFloor(2.42) would return 2
mCeil(2.42) would return 3

You may want to consider adding 0.5 (or subtracting 0.5 for negative numbers) prior to a MFloor call. This is a widely used method to "round" the number to the closest INT.

I prefer to write an mRound function

function mRound(%val)
{
if ((%val-mFloor(%val)) < 0.5)
%ret = mFloor(%val;
else
%ret = mCeil(%vail);

return %ret;
}
