Richmond,
Floor of a number is the largest integer that is less than or equal to the number. For positive numbers, it would be trunc(myNumber) but for negative numbers, floor(-4.34) would have to evaluate to -5. Probably trunc(myNum-1) would almost do it, but I'm not in LC to check all cases, e.g. floor(-4.0) should be -4.
