you convert the float number to string and then slice in

ie.    -- variables
        num1 : float :=999.88;
        number : string(1.. 6);
        counter : natural :=1;
        --body
         number := string(num1);
         while ( number(counter) \= '.' and counter \= number'last) loop
                counter := counter +1;
        end loop
        if (counter \= number'last) then
               put(number(1..counter-1) +" "+ number(counter+1..
number'last);
        end if
