      float floor (       float x );
long double floor ( long double x ); | 
<cmath>  | 
Round down value
Returns the largest integral value that is not greater than x.
Parameters
- x
 
- Floating point value.
 
Return Value
The largest integral value not greater than 
x.
Portability
In C, only the 
double version of this function exists with this name.
Example
/* floor example */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main ()
{
  printf ("floor of 2.3 is %.1lf\n", floor (2.3) );
  printf ("floor of 3.8 is %.1lf\n", floor (3.8) );
  printf ("floor of -2.3 is %.1lf\n", floor (-2.3) );
  printf ("floor of -3.8 is %.1lf\n", floor (-3.8) );
  return 0;
}

Output:
floor of 2.3 is 2.0 floor of 3.8 is 3.0 floor of -2.3 is -3.0 floor of -3.8 is -4.0
