Decimal numbers problem on plotting

I am plotting a graph about a parameter that changes according to years on MATLAB. But on the years label, decimal numbers are seen. How can I make them unseen?

Consider:

% make a simple plot that reproduces the fractional year ticks
x = 2016:0.5:2020
plot(x,x)

% get rid of tick labels for non-integer years
xtl = get(gca,'xticklabel')
mask = cellfun(@(x)mod(str2num(x),1)>eps,xtl);
xtl(mask) = {''}
set(gca,'xticklabel',xtl)

There are probably other ways to do this, but this is what I came up with off the top of my head.

thank you so much but as a beginner, it's a little bit complicated for me.

You might also be able to get away with something like this:

x = 2016:0.5:2020
plot(x,x)

xt = get(gca,'xtick')
set(gca,'xtick',xt(mod(xt,1)==0))

though it will also remove the half-year tick marks as well
