Using scientific-notation number as int in shell script (ksh)

I wish to convert string to int in shell script (ksh shell)

The string looks like 1.2E+002

Which is basically a number 120

I wanted to compare this number with say 100.

But, I am unable to do so.

Looked at other answers on stackoverflow, but none works for my case

You could use Awk's int:

$ echo "1.2E+002" | awk '{ print int($0) }'
120
