Help! How to change Real numbers to Natural numbers on Distance Counter script (Noob question)

Greetings everyone, im new on coding (i have only a few days on my back) and Im trying to learn how to make a gui.text telling how many meters my player go.

After a few hours i got this

using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class DistanceCounter : MonoBehaviour {

 public GameObject target;

 float distanceTravelled = 0;

 Vector3 lastPosition;

 void Start()

     lastPosition = target.transform.position;

 void Update()

     distanceTravelled += Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, lastPosition);

     lastPosition = target.transform.position;

     guiText.text = " " + distanceTravelled;

Im getting a lot of decimals running on the screen, p.e. at start it shows "0.01687412" .

What im doing wrong? How should I change my code to get no decimals?

Also, my game is on 2D ,so i should change my Vector3 to Vector2? and also, should i wrote target.transform.position.x instead using target.transform.position?

How it will affect?

Thanks in advance great people.

I solved with help of a friend with $$anonymous$$athf.Round, may it help someone:

 void Update()
     {
         distanceTravelled += Vector3.Distance(target.transform.position, lastPosition);
         lastPosition = target.transform.position;
         guiText.text = " " + $$anonymous$$athf.Round(distanceTravelled);
     }
