C floor()

C floor() Prototype

double floor(double arg)

The floor() function takes a single argument and returns the value in type double.

It is defined in <math.h> header file.

For example:

If 2.3 is passed to floor(), it will return 2.

In order to calculate floor() for long double or float, you can use the following prototype.

long double floorl( long double arg );
float floorf( float arg );

Example: C floor() function

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()
{
   double num = -8.33;
   int result;

   result = floor(num);

   printf("Floor integer of %.2f = %d", num, result);
   return 0;
}

Output

Floor integer of -8.33 = -9
