You can covert a float to an int anyway by using Int(Thefloat#).
TwoEyedPete appears to have answered your question already (before) in his link.
Tiger is right too of course. You can only do that assignment because it is a BASIC language otherwise you would have to convert or typecast it. For example trying that (A% = B$) in C would not work, you would need to program it or use a library function. In Delpi you use StrToInt, BUT if raises an exception if the string is not a valid number. Blitz just sets the int to 0.
