flooring a value, simply means, dropping it to the closest integer, so for the floor function or ⌊x⌋, that means

⌊ 2.5 ⌋ = 2

⌊ 2.00000001 ⌋ = 2

⌊ 2.999999999999⌋ = 2

⌊ -2.0000000001⌋ = -3

⌊ -2.999999999999⌋ = -3

let's recall that on the negative side of the number line, the farther from 0, the smaller, so -1,000,000 is a tiny number compared to the much larger -1.

⌊ -5.2 ⌋ = -6.
