I would suggest that you call Math.round() before casting, as to prevent undesirable effects: notice that in the example sent by ermina, 4.8 rounds down to 4 when cast to int, which could cause miscalculations *depending on your use case*. The previous example would look something like this if we used Math.round(): Math.round(pctPosInit) $ int => int pctPosInitInt; pctPosInitInt/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos; Best regards!

Hi,

to convert a float to an int, you need to explicitly cast the value with 4.8 $ int => int foo; // foo == 4 (as written here: https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/language/oper.html)

So you would do something like pctPosInit $ int => int pctPosInitInt pctPosInitInt/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos;

Hi What is the best way to convert a float to int in the following please?

//I want to set myBuf.pos to a percentage of myBuf.samples()... //Start playing at say 40% through the total number of samples.

40.0 => float pctPosInit; pctPosInit/100*myBuf.samples() => myBuf.pos;

This throws the error argument types don't match. I'm not seeing how to convert the float to an int here. Thanks for your help!
