How do format output text to show only whole numbers and not decimals along with it in Vf page

Question

I want to display a field in a object to show just the whole number/integer value. This field has decimal values in the structure but for i need to show the integer value for this VF page only.

<apex:pageBlockSectionItem >

                    <apex:outputLabel value="# Connections" for="Connections"/>

                    <apex:outputText id="Connections" value="{!Event__c.Total_Connections__c}" />         

                </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>

No of connections has to be shown as whole number.

Answer 1

You can utilize parametrized output with formatting, for example:

<apex:outputText id="Connections" value="{0, number, integer}">

    <apex:param value="{!Event__c.Total_Connections__c}" />

</apex:outputText>

For more detail about all the formatting options, check Java's MessageFormat, the same formatting is used for <apex:outputText>
