Explanation:

The floor function is a function used to return an integer value that is great than the input number.

More often than not, the input number is a real number.

Take for instance.

Floor(3.2).

Going by the explanation above, the result of this will be 3

How about floor(-3.2)

The result of this will be -4.

This is so because -4 is less than or equal to -3.2.
