Message-ID: <34A9138E.41C67EA6@swl.msd.ray.com> (raw)
A student tried to extract the integer portion of a decimal (money)
value using Money_Type'Truncation(Cash), and received the GNAT error
that the attribute is only for Float types (That's what the ARM says,
too).
Does anyone have an easy way to extract the integer portion of a decimal
number - short of writing a function? Seems Ada should allow this (and
other attributes) for fixed and decimal types, but it doesn't without
first converting the value to decimal.
Thanks
