Of course you can do that. That's the entire point of the floor function

Ah yes, the floor function. Let me just look that up real quick...

In mathematics and computer science, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x and gives as output the greatest integer {\displaystyle {\text{floor}}(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor } that is less than or equal to x. Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer {\displaystyle {\text{ceiling}}(x)=\lceil x\rceil } that is greater than or equal to x.

WHAT IS THIS

[u/Ahardknockwurstlife → u/525days]

It's like a different language honestly

[u/Tahmatoes → u/525days]

Basically, when you send in a number with decimals into a floor function it ignores the decimals. So 1.536 - > 1.

[u/PenguinTod → u/Tahmatoes]

Only true if you forget that negative numbers exist; if you pass in -1.536 it will return -2.

[u/Glitchiness → u/525days]

If you're not going to install a LaTeX addon then just ignore all of that and it's the same meaning.

Smaller than or equal to. Otherwise floor(14) would be 13, instead of 14.

[u/525days → u/[deleted]]

Oh hey thank you

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

So it would also turn 1.999 to 1?

DO TRAPDOOR FUNCTIONS NEXT!

I never knew math could be so entertaining.

Have you never heard the Verizon reps trying to understand the difference between .2 dollars and .2 cents?

[u/[deleted] → u/HothMonster]

Ok, I think I have to do this again.

Do you recognize that there's a difference between 1 dollar and 1 cent?

Definitely.

Do you recognize that there's a difference between half a dollar and half a cent?

Definitely.

Then do you, therefore, recognize that there's a difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?

No.

After the events of 15:45 I abandoned god and embraced the void.

To put everyone's minds at ease, apparently he did end up getting a refund.

And as soon as he clicked on the link, his blood pressure doubled.

[u/Demonix_Fox → u/HothMonster]

My god, I'm so pissed off right now

[u/Deadpoint → u/HothMonster]

Tbf 99¢ is frequently written as .99¢.

[u/ratmon]

People on Reddit are so fucking obtuse it's crazy

[u/Krams → u/ratmon]

What the fuck did you just call me!?!

[u/PenguinTod → u/Krams]

Don't worry, I think you're acute one.

[u/Billlington → u/ratmon]

I really think a lot of these are people who just want to argue.

[u/[deleted] → u/Billlington]

Nuh uh! No one here wants to argue, you are obviously projecting.

[u/StallmanTheGrey]

These people are more common than one would like to think.
