==Integer== 
Liberty BASIC defaults to integer arithmetic unless you do something that produces a floating point result. For example:

[[code format="lb"]]
a = 3 + 4 'integer calculation
for x = 1 to 10 'integer calculation
[[code]]

==Floating Point==
Or floating point:

[[code format="lb"]]
a = 0.3 + 0.4 'floating point
[[code]]

==Convert Float to Integer==
If a floating point result has a zero fractional part (this doesn't happen too often), then LB will convert it to an integer number on assignment. This is dependent on the math processor, and probably other variables.

[[code format="lb"]]
a = 0.3 + 0.7 'may become an integer on assignment
[[code]]
