How to keep decimal float point only

I could not find any answer about this. So I have a float number (a=323.153), I wanna output look like this with keeping decimal point only:

>> a=323.

What format shall I use?

Thanks.

If it is just for display you can specify the output format in fprintf.

a = 323.153;
fprintf('<< a = %.0f.\n',a)

output:

<< a = 323.

Kind regards,

Thanks, Walter.

It's not exactly what I need. I need output with a dot, so (>>a=323.).

Convert to string format and add point manually?
