Math.Floor
Method
Definition
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified number.
Overloads
| Floor(Decimal) |
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified decimal number. |
| Floor(Double) |
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified double-precision floating-point number. |
Remarks
The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward negative infinity.
Floor(Decimal)
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified decimal number.
public static decimal Floor (decimal d);
- d
- Decimal
A decimal number.
The largest integer less than or equal to d. Note that the method returns an integral value of type Math.
Examples
The following example illustrates the Math.Floor(Decimal) method and contrasts it with the Ceiling(Decimal) method.
decimal[] values = {7.03m, 7.64m, 0.12m, -0.12m, -7.1m, -7.6m};
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor\n");
foreach (decimal value in values)
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}",
value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value));
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Value Ceiling Floor
//
// 7.03 8 7
// 7.64 8 7
// 0.12 1 0
// -0.12 0 -1
// -7.1 -7 -8
// -7.6 -7 -8
Dim values() As Decimal = {7.03d, 7.64d, 0.12d, -0.12d, -7.1d, -7.6d}
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor")
Console.WriteLine()
For Each value As Decimal In values
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}", _
value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value))

' The example displays the following output to the console:
' Value Ceiling Floor

' 7.03 8 7
' 7.64 8 7
' 0.12 1 0
' -0.12 0 -1
' -7.1 -7 -8
' -7.6 -7 -8
Remarks
The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward negative infinity. In other words, if d is positive, any fractional component is truncated. If d is negative, the presence of any fractional component causes it to be rounded to the smaller integer. The operation of this method differs from the Ceiling method, which supports rounding toward positive infinity.
Floor(Double)
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to the specified double-precision floating-point number.
public static double Floor (double d);
- d
- Double
A double-precision floating-point number.
The largest integer less than or equal to d. If d is equal to NaN, NegativeInfinity, or PositiveInfinity, that value is returned.
Examples
The following example illustrates the Math.Floor(Double) method and contrasts it with the Ceiling(Double) method.
double[] values = {7.03, 7.64, 0.12, -0.12, -7.1, -7.6};
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor\n");
foreach (double value in values)
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}",
value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value));
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Value Ceiling Floor

// 7.64 8 7
// 0.12 1 0
// -0.12 0 -1
// -7.1 -7 -8
// -7.6 -7 -8
Dim values() As Double = {7.03, 7.64, 0.12, -0.12, -7.1, -7.6}
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor")
Console.WriteLine()
For Each value As Double In values
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}", _
