Java Math floor()

The floor() method rounds the specified double value downward and returns it. The rounded value will be equal to a mathematical integer. That is, the value 3.8 will be rounded to 3.0 which is equal to integer 3.

Example

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

double a = 3.8; System.out.println(Math.floor(a));
} } // Output: 3.0

Math.floor() Syntax

The syntax of the floor() method is:

Math.floor(double value)

Here, floor() is a static method. Hence, we are accessing the method using the class name, Math.


Math.floor() Parameters

The floor() method takes a single parameter.

  • value - number which is to be rounded upward

Math.floor() Return Value

  • returns the rounded value that is equal to the mathematical integer

Note: The returned value is the largest value that is smaller than or equal to the specified argument.


Example: Java Math.floor()

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Math.floor() method
    // value greater than 5 after decimal
    double a = 1.878;
System.out.println(Math.floor(a)); // 1.0
// value equals to 5 after decimal double b = 1.5;
System.out.println(Math.floor(b)); // 1.0
// value less than 5 after decimal double c = 1.34;
System.out.println(Math.floor(c)); // 1.0
} }
