Quoting J. Scott Hildebrand (jshildebrand at ucdavis.edu):

Maybe I did not get your question right. This is very elementary C.

If you want to just truncate the decimal part of a floating point
variable you just cast it to int:

int firstint=(int)firstfloat;
int secondint=(int)secondfloat;

If you want to have the nearest integer, this is what you need

int firstint=(int)(firstfloat+0.5);
int secondint=(int)(secondfloat+0.5);

In the hope of being useful...
