Truncation

How do you truncate a number. For example if I have the following:
num: 47.2393
How do I get just the 47. I want to return only the first part before the
decimal and do NOT want to round the number.

Hi Paul
Well for numbers of absolute magnitude less than 2,147,483,647 (i.e., within
the range of the integer datatype) you can do this:
>> to-integer 47.2393
== 47

Damn I thought I tried that. Thanks, I knew it was something simple.
