Floor function

Revision as of 06:05, 24 June 2006 by Solafidefarms (talk | contribs) (Greatest integer function moved to Floor: Floor function better than greatest integer function.)

The greatest integer function, or the floor function, finds the greatest integer less than its argument. The floor of $x$ is often denoted by $\lfloor x \rfloor$.

For example:

  • $\lfloor 3.14 \rfloor = 3$
  • $\lfloor -2.7 \rfloor = -3$
  • $\lfloor 5 \rfloor = 5$
