Question -

Explain floor(x) in Python with example.



Answer -

The method floor() returns floor of x – the largest integer not greater than x.
Syntax: Following is the syntax for floor() method
import math
math.floor(x)
Note: This function is not accessible directly so we need to import math module and then we need to call this function using math static object.
Parameters : x — This is a numeric expression.
Return Value: This method returns largest integer not greater than x.
Example: The following example shows the usage of floor() method.

# !/usr/bin/python
import math # This will import math module
print “math.floor(-45.17): “,
math.floor(-45.17)
print “math.floor(100.12): “,
math.floor(100.12)
print “math.floor(100.72): “,
math.floor(100.72)
print “math.floor(119L):”,
math.floor(119L)
print “math.floor(math.pi):”,
math.floor(math.pi)

This will produce the following result:

math.floor(-45.17) :-46.0
math.floor(100.12): 100.0
math.floor(100.72): 100.0
math.floor(119L): 119.0
math.floor(math.pi): 3.0
