floor

..  floor([T,] x, [digits, [base]])

``floor(x)`` returns the nearest integral value of the same type as ``x``
that is less than or equal to ``x``.

``floor(T, x)`` converts the result to type ``T``, throwing an
``InexactError`` if the value is not representable.

``digits`` and ``base`` work as for :func:`round`.

Examples

The floor function in Julia:

floor(x)

returns the nearest integral value of the same type as x that is less than or equal to x.

floor(T, x)

converts the result to type T, throwing an InexactError if the value is not representable.

The optional arguments digits and base work as they do for the round function.

Here are some examples of how the floor function can be used:

  1. Basic usage with integers:

    julia> floor(5)
    5
    
    julia> floor(8.9)
    8

    The floor function returns the nearest integral value that is less than or equal to the input number.

  2. Conversion to a specific type:

    julia> floor(Int, 5.6)
    5
    
    julia> floor(Float32, 7.8)
    7.0

    Using floor(T, x), we can convert the result to a specific type. If the value is not representable, it throws an InexactError.

  3. Usage with digits and base:

    julia> floor(3.14159, digits=3)
    3.141
    
    julia> floor(123.456, base=10)
    120.0

    The digits argument specifies the number of significant digits to consider, and the base argument determines the rounding base.

And that's how you can use the floor function in Julia!
