Hi, I have:

 float x1 = (160 * sin((sin(t * 1.2) * 80))) + 256;
 float y1 = (100 * cos((sin(t)) * 180)) + 160;

 printf("x1: %f  y1: %f\n", x1, y1);
 printf("x1: %f  y1: %f\n", floor(x1), floor(y1));

And I get:
x1: 137.382156  y1: 238.485764
x1: 0.000000  y1: 0.000000

Any idea what the problem is?

PS: I used Pavels Math2 stuff.

Could it be because floor is returning extended when printf expects 
double?  Try casting it to double.  I'm in the wrong OS to check.

Anyway, does printf() await a float or a double for a %f?

Yes, exactly. The return type for all math functions is either
int or extended (two overloaded versions exist, typically).

Double. If you pass float, it is converted to double automatically
by the compiler, so no need to cast floats. Extended, however,
must be casted (or %Lf used).

Casting works for me, using %Lf doesn't in this case I still get a 0.0 for
the ceiled/floored value. Robert

So I could use %d instead? I try this but IIRC I checked it and I got the
same result... Robert

No, you couldn't... the compiler can't determine which function
to use based on format string. =)

You get int, if you pass int as argument. You get extended if you pass
extended. Some functions only have extended version - trigonometric,
for example. I suggest looking at the source to see the details.
