How to truncate floating point number in jscript?

How to truncate float value in Jscript?

eg.

var x = 9/6

Now x contains a floating point number and it is 1.5.
I want to truncate this and get the value as 1

x = Math.floor(x)

This will round the value of x down to the nearest integer below.

[`Math.round()`][1] should achieve what you're looking for, but of course it'll round `1.5` to `2`. If you always want to round down to the nearest integer, use [`Math.floor()`][2]:

var x = Math.floor(9 / 6);

`Math.floor()` only works as the OP intended when the number is positive, as it rounds *down* and not towards zero. Therefore, for negative numbers, `Math.ceil()` must be used.

var x = 9/6;
x = (x < 0 ? Math.ceil(x) : Math.floor(x));

Another solution could be:

~~~javascript
var x = parseInt(9 / 6);
Wscript.StdOut.WriteLine(x); // returns 1
~~~

the main purpose of the `parseInt()` function is to parse strings to integers. So I guess it might be slower than `Math.floor()` and methods as such.
