How can I display numbers without decimal points?

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I am a noob,

, so...

I am taking an introductory programming course, and we are doing a program where we have our character sing(say) the song "99 of Pop on the wall" (no beer). My issue is that the song displays as "1.0 bottle, 2.0 bottles", etc. and I would prefer simply "1 bottle, 2 bottles", etc.

Is there a way to display numbers in this way without the decimal points?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Todd

That's actually pretty simple.

You have your "say (variable) as a string" function, right?
Well, there's another world function that says "int a as a string". Put that in as well. It should look like "say 'int (variable) as a string' as a string".

That help?

So... problem solved... just in time to get my project in.

Much appreciation.
