The floor () method returns the largest integer less than x (rounded down).
Grammar
The following is the syntax for the floor () method:
Import Mathmath.floor (x)
Note: This function is not directly accessible, so we need to import the math module and then call this function with the static object of math.
Parameters
- X--This is a numeric expression.
return value
This method returns the largest integer that is less than X.
Example
The following example shows the use of the floor () method.
#!/usr/bin/pythonimport Math # This would import math Moduleprint "Math.floor ( -45.17):", Math.floor ( -45.17) print "Ma Th.floor (100.12): ", Math.floor (100.12) print" Math.floor (100.72): ", Math.floor (100.72) print" Math.floor (119L): ", Mat H.floor (119L) print "Math.floor (Math.PI):", Math.floor (Math.PI)
When we run the above program, it produces the following results:
Math.floor ( -45.17): -46.0math.floor (100.12): 100.0math.floor (100.72): 100.0math.floor (119L): 119.0math.floor ( MATH.PI): 3.0
