Integers, Modulus

["chbarr" <chbarr@...>]

Hi!

Been working with Lua (mostly Plua) for a few months now, and today 
tried to figure out how to do something that I can do in Perl quite 
readily. 

First, I wanted to get a modulus (remainder) of two numbers. I looked 
in the Lua Reference manual and Programming Lua, and no luck.

So, I thought that, with some effort, I could work around that. 
However, I could not find how to take just the integer part of a 
floating number (i.e. the part to the left of the decimal point). 

Anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,
Charles
