NAME
floor() - floor function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double floor(double x);
DESCRIPTION
floor() returns the largest integer (represented as a double-precision number) not greater than x.
To use this function, make sure your program includes <math.h>, and link in the math library by specify-
ing -lm on the compiler or linker command line.
RETURN VALUE
If x is ±INFINITY or ±zero, floor() returns x.
If x is NaN, floor() returns NaN.
If the correct value would overflow,
floor() returns −HUGE_VAL and sets errno to [ERANGE]. (This
description complies with XPG4.2; however, the
floor() function never overflows on HP-UX systems.)
ERRORS
If
floor() fails, errno is set to the following value.
[ERANGE] The correct value would overflow.
