FloorMethodExample.java

package exlcode;

public class FloorMethodExample {

  // Returns largest integer that is less than or equal to the argument
  public static double exampleVariableOne = Math.floor(10.4);
  public static double exampleVariableTwo = Math.floor(-20.4);

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(exampleVariableOne);
    System.out.println(exampleVariableTwo);
  }
}

As the nearest whole number that is less than or equal to 10.4 is 10, 10.0 is printed. Similarly, since the closest whole number that is less than or equal to -20.4 is -21, -21.0 is printed. Notice that even if we input a non-decimal number into the floor function, a double is returned. Since data precision is not hindered when you convert from an int data type to a double, Java will do it without throwing any errors. The floor function's primary use is rounding, all ready for you to use while coding.

Math.Floor Method

Reference

Definition

Returns the largest integral value less than or equal to the specified number.

Overloads

Floor(Double)	Returns the largest integral value less than or equal to the specified double-precision floating-point number.
Floor(Decimal)	Returns the largest integral value less than or equal to the specified decimal number.

Remarks

The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward negative infinity.

Floor(Double)

Returns the largest integral value less than or equal to the specified double-precision floating-point number.

public:
 static double Floor(double d);

public static double Floor (double d);

static member Floor : double -> double

Public Shared Function Floor (d As Double) As Double

Parameters

d Double

A double-precision floating-point number.

Returns

Double

The largest integral value less than or equal to d. If d is equal to NaN, NegativeInfinity, or PositiveInfinity, that value is returned.

Examples

The following example illustrates the Math.Floor(Double) method and contrasts it with the Ceiling(Double) method.

double[] values = {7.03, 7.64, 0.12, -0.12, -7.1, -7.6};
Console.WriteLine("  Value          Ceiling          Floor\n");
foreach (double value in values)
   Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}",
                     value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value));
// The example displays the following output to the console:
//         Value          Ceiling          Floor
//
//          7.03                8              7
//          7.64                8              7
//          0.12                1              0
//         -0.12                0             -1
//          -7.1               -7             -8
//          -7.6               -7             -8

// The ceil and floor functions may be used instead.
let values = 
    [ 7.03; 7.64; 0.12; -0.12; -7.1; -7.6 ]
printfn "  Value          Ceiling          Floor\n"
for value in values do
    printfn $"{value,7} {Math.Ceiling value,16} {Math.Floor value,14}"
// The example displays the following output to the console:

//          -7.6               -7             -8

Dim values() As Double = {7.03, 7.64, 0.12, -0.12, -7.1, -7.6}

'          -7.6               -7             -8

Remarks

The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward negative infinity. In other words, if d is positive, any fractional component is truncated. If d is negative, the presence of any fractional component causes it to be rounded to the smaller integer. The operation of this method differs from the Ceiling method, which supports rounding toward positive infinity.

Starting with Visual Basic 15.8, the performance of Double-to-integer conversion is optimized if you pass the value returned by the Floor method to the any of the integral conversion functions, or if the Double value returned by Floor is automatically converted to an integer with Option Strict set to Off. This optimization allows code to run faster -- up to twice as fast for code that does a large number of conversions to integer types. The following example illustrates such optimized conversions:

Dim d1 As Double = 1043.75133
Dim i1 As Integer = CInt(Math.Floor(d1))        ' Result: 1043

Dim d2 As Double = 7968.4136
Dim i2 As Integer = CInt(Math.Floor(d2))        ' Result: 7968
