Note: when you cast from a float to an integer your integer will "drop off" any of the original float value that was to the right of the decimal point. This means 20.5 will become 20 as an integer. Also, 20.9 will become 20, so make sure if you are converting from a float to an integer that you really don't need the decimal portion...

Depending on your needs, you may want to round up when doing this, e.g.

myval = (int) (test + 0.5);

But, consider the impact when test is negative!
