The nspire has an 'int()' command for that. But you have to be careful int(9.57) gives back 9.  WITH the dot, which can be problematic with comparing sometimes.

Yes, int() cuts off any decimals (converts it to an Integer). But the nspire literally cuts off the decimals and leaves the dot (.) in place.

More importantly it rounds down
int(9.57)=9
int(-9.57)=-10

Well if you were worried about that you could give int(9.57)->approxFraction(5.E-14)

That's very  useful! And yeah, the rounding down is also important indeed.

If you want it to round mathematically instead of always down, use round(integer, digits).
round(-9.4,0)=-9

You can also use exact() (exact(9.) => 9 ). Also, 9=9. return true.

ipart() returns the integer part of the argument
And I think it keeps the dot, because ipart(9.57) returns 9.
