Hello dudes!  
How have you been doing latelly?  
I’m trying to get the integer value form some float variables but I can’t. Like, I need the value before the dot. For example, if the value is 2.14, I need to get only the number 2. I have read the built in documentation but I couldn’t find any solution. Could anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hi @rafael

Most of the cases the simple python `int()` should work.

You can either use `Evaluate` Keyword, or use `${{python eval}}`

Another option is to use Should Be Equal As Numbers, which has argument “precision”, which defines on which accurate (how many decimals) the comparison is done.
