1-3) Computes the largest integer value not greater thanarg.
4) Type-generic macro: Ifarg has typelongdouble,floorl
is called. Otherwise, ifarg has integer type or the typedouble,floor
is called. Otherwise,floorf
is called.
[edit]Parameters
arg | - | floating-point value |
[edit]Return value
If no errors occur, the largest integer value not greater thanarg, that is⌊arg⌋, is returned.
[edit]Error handling
Errors are reported as specified inmath_errhandling
.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559):
- The currentrounding mode has no effect.
- Ifarg is ±∞, it is returned, unmodified.
- Ifarg is ±0, it is returned, unmodified.
- Ifarg is NaN, NaN is returned.
FE_INEXACT may be (but isn't required to be) raised when rounding a non-integer finite value.
The largest representable floating-point values are exact integers in all standard floating-point formats, so this function never overflows on its own; however the result may overflow any integer type (includingintmax_t), when stored in an integer variable.
[edit]Example
#include <math.h>#include <stdio.h> int main(void){printf("floor(+2.7) = %+.1f\n", floor(2.7));printf("floor(-2.7) = %+.1f\n", floor(-2.7));printf("floor(-0.0) = %+.1f\n", floor(-0.0));printf("floor(-Inf) = %+f\n", floor(-INFINITY));}
Possible output:
floor(+2.7) = +2.0floor(-2.7) = -3.0floor(-0.0) = -0.0floor(-Inf) = -inf
