Hi Richard

I agree....
But you always want to round down ;)

Hello Vincent,

Only if you always want to round *down* the equation. For example
flooring a result of 4.99 will give you an integer of 4 whereas
round() (or ceil()) will give you 5. It depends on the situation as to
which is most useful.
