floor(3)                 Library Functions Manualfloor(3)

NAME top

       floor, floorf, floorl - largest integral value not greater than       argument

LIBRARY top

       Math library (libm,-lm)

SYNOPSIS top

#include <math.h>double floor(doublex);float floorf(floatx);long double floorl(long doublex);   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (seefeature_test_macros(7)):floorf(),floorl():           _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L               || /* Since glibc 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE               || /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION top

       These functions return the largest integral value that is not       greater thanx.       For example,floor(0.5) is 0.0, andfloor(-0.5) is -1.0.

RETURN VALUE top

       These functions return the floor ofx.       Ifx is integral, +0, -0, NaN, or an infinity,x itself is       returned.

ERRORS top

       No errors occur.

STANDARDS top

       C11, POSIX.1-2008.

HISTORY top

       C99, POSIX.1-2001.       The variant returningdouble also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.       SUSv2 and POSIX.1-2001 contain text about overflow (which might       seterrno toERANGE, or raise anFE_OVERFLOWexception).  In       practice, the result cannot overflow on any current machine, so       this error-handling stuff was just nonsense.  (More precisely,       overflow can happen only when the maximum value of the exponent is       smaller than the number of mantissa bits.  For the IEEE-754       standard 32-bit and 64-bit floating-point numbers the maximum       value of the exponent is 127 (respectively, 1023), and the number       of mantissa bits including the implicit bit is 24 (respectively,       53).)  This was removed in POSIX.1-2008.
