Richmond,
Floor of a number is the largest integer that is less than or equal to the 
number. For positive numbers, it would be trunc(myNumber) but for negative 
numbers, floor(-4.34) would have to evaluate to -5. Probably trunc(myNum-1) 
would almost do it, but I'm not in LC to check all cases, e.g. floor(-4.0) 
should be -4.

I found this link. It might be easier to convert this code to LC.

That looks very good indeed: but I don't understand what 'floor' means.

That "floored me" :)  Thanks for the heads up!

I just wrote this in the Message Box:

put trunc(-9.8)

and got '-9'
