Floor - Math

Member of: Math Script

Calculates the largest integer less than or equal to the passed in value.

Syntax

int Function Floor(float afValue) native global

Parameters

• afValue: The value to get the floor of.

Return Value

The floor of the passed-in value.

Examples

int x = Math.Floor(2.1) ; x == 2
int y = Math.Floor(5.9) ; y == 5
int z = Math.Floor(-0.7) ; z == -1

Notes

• Casting a Float to an Int verifiably produces the same results for positive numbers and is measurably faster. Results with negative numbers differs since casting truncates the number going towards 0 while floor gets the closest lower integer, therefore going towards negative infinite.

int floored = Math.Floor(-0.7) ; result is -1
int casted = -0.7 as int ; result is 0
