Returns an integer

Examples

// print the apparent time of day as HH:MM (%), just like the environment window viewer.
// Time of day is a fraction between 0 and 1, 0 is midnight, 0.5 is noon

    integer hours = (integer)(dayFraction * 24);
    integer minutes = (integer)(dayFraction * 24 * 60) % 60;
    integer percent = (integer)(dayFraction * 100);
    return (string)hours + ":" + llGetSubString((string)(100+minutes), 1, 2) + " (" + (string)percent + "%)";
