How can I delete the miliseconds of a timer and only show the first number?

I figured out how to get working the timer using this:
Code: Select all
timer = "0"
timer = timer + dt
if timer >= 10 then
love.event.quit()
end
this makes a timer but it shows milliseconds also so how can i hide or not show them?

Code: Select all
-- init:
timer = 0 -- not "0"
-- update:
timer = timer + dt
-- draw:
love.graphics.print (math.floor(timer))
-- or
love.graphics.print (string.format("%.0f", timer))

Darkfrei's answer works, but in order to trim away the decimals with string.format, you can actually use %d or %i.
Code: Select all
print ( string.format ( "%d", 1010.1111 ) ) -- prints string 1010
print ( string.format ( "%i", 1010.1111 ) ) -- prints string 1010
