{{Built-in|Floor|⌊}} is a [[monadic]] [[scalar function]] which gives the [[wikipedia:floor and ceiling functions|floor]] of a real number, i.e. the greatest integer not exceeding the given value. This operation is also known as '''integral part''', '''entier''', and '''round down'''. Floor shares the [[glyph]] <source lang=apl inline>⌊</source> with the dyadic arithmetic function [[Minimum]]. | {{Built-in|Floor|⌊}} is a [[monadic]] [[scalar function]] which gives the [[wikipedia:floor and ceiling functions|floor]] of a real number, i.e. the greatest integer not exceeding the given value.
