Convert integer to float or vice versa - how??

[jemly]

I need to convert a value from an int16 to a float - how can I do this? Are there any rounding options in CCS? i.e. if int16 valA = 4 and i divide it by 3 to get a float value how can i round the float value up or down?

This is standard C. Get yourself a copy of any good C book, especially K&R (The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, ISBN 0-13-110362-8).

For your question:
int16 valA = 4;
float valB;
valB = valA/3 returns 1.0 because 4/3 => 1 using integer math
valB = valA/3.0 returns 1.333... because 4/3.0 uses float math
valB = (float)valA/3 returns 1.333... because 4.0/3 uses float math

You will have to do rounding yourself.
