"term.write" adds ".0" for no reason

The issue presents itself really simple.
If I do:

print(reactor.getFuelAmountMax())

I get 160000 which is prefectly fine. But if I use

term.write(reactor.getFuelAmountMax())

I get 160000.0 even though the value returned by reactor.getFuelAmountMax() has no decimal places. Same with every other function that returns a number. Using math.floor() doesn't remove it, and I can't get math.round() to work.
I want a number to have no decimal places, as when using print(). How can I fix that? It's really bothering me.

You've got it backwards. Term.write isn't adding the decimal place, print is removing it. Print does a tostring on all of its arguments before printing them. When integer numbers are tostring'd, the resulting string does not contain any decimal places. Simply use a tostring with your term.write and you should be fine:

term.write(tostring(reactor.getFuelAmountMax()))

I see now, I will keep it in mind. Thanks for explaining it :)/>

That actually did the trick, thank you for that as well!
