Function floor #

Round a value towards minus infinity. For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.

Syntax #

math.floor(x)
math.floor(x, n)
math.floor(unit, valuelessUnit)
math.floor(unit, n, valuelessUnit)

Parameters #

Parameter Type Description
x number | BigNumber | Fraction | Complex | Unit | Array | Matrix Value to be rounded
n number | BigNumber | Array Number of decimals Default value: 0.
valuelessUnit Unit A valueless unit

Examples #

math.floor(3.2)              // returns number 3
math.floor(3.8)              // returns number 3
math.floor(-4.2)             // returns number -5
math.floor(-4.7)             // returns number -5

math.floor(3.212, 2)          // returns number 3.21
math.floor(3.288, 2)          // returns number 3.28
math.floor(-4.212, 2)         // returns number -4.22
math.floor(-4.782, 2)         // returns number -4.79

const c = math.complex(3.24, -2.71)
math.floor(c)                 // returns Complex 3 - 3i
math.floor(c, 1)              // returns Complex 3.2 -2.8i

const unit = math.unit('3.241 cm')
const cm = math.unit('cm')
const mm = math.unit('mm')
math.floor(unit, 1, cm)      // returns Unit 3.2 cm
math.floor(unit, 1, mm)      // returns Unit 32.4 mm

math.floor([3.2, 3.8, -4.7])       // returns Array [3, 3, -5]
math.floor([3.21, 3.82, -4.71], 1)  // returns Array [3.2, 3.8, -4.8]

math.floor(math.tau, [2, 3])  // returns Array [6.28, 6.283]

// Note that floor(array, array) currently not implemented.
