floor(), floorf()
Round down a value to the next integer
Synopsis:
#include <math.h> double floor( double x ); float floorf( float x );
Arguments:
- x
- The value you want to round.
Library:
libm
Use the -l m option to qcc to link against this library.
Description:
These functions compute the largest integer ≤ x (rounding towards the floor).
Returns:
The largest integer ≤ x.
If an error occurs, these functions return 0, but this is also a valid
mathematical result.
If you want to check for errors, set
errno
to 0, call the function, and then check errno again.
These functions don't change errno if no errors occurred.
Examples:
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( void ) { printf( "%f\n", floor( -3.14 ) ); printf( "%f\n", floor( -3. ) ); printf( "%f\n", floor( 0. ) ); printf( "%f\n", floor( 3.14 ) ); printf( "%f\n", floor( 3. ) ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
produces the output:
-4.000000 -3.000000 0.000000 3.000000 3.000000
