FLOOR(3M)FLOOR(3M)NAME
fabs, floor, ceil, rint - absolute value, floor, ceiling, and round-to-nearest functions
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double floor(x)
double x;
double ceil(x)
double x;
double fabs(x)
double x;
double rint(x)
double x;
DESCRIPTION
Fabs returns the absolute value |x|.
Floor returns the largest integer no greater than x.
Ceil returns the smallest integer no less than x.
Rint returns the integer (represented as a double precision number) nearest x in the direction of the prevailing rounding mode.
NOTES
On a VAX, rint(x) is equivalent to adding half to the magnitude and then rounding towards zero.
In the default rounding mode, to nearest, on a machine that conforms to IEEE 754, rint(x) is the integer nearest x with the additional
stipulation that if |rint(x)-x|=1/2 then rint(x) is even. Other rounding modes can make rint act like floor, or like ceil, or round
towards zero.
Another way to obtain an integer near x is to declare (in C)
double x; int k; k = x;
Most C compilers round x towards 0 to get the integer k, but some do otherwise. If in doubt, use floor, ceil, or rint first, whichever you
intend. Also note that, if x is larger than k can accommodate, the value of k and the presence or absence of an integer overflow are hard
to predict.

Hello Experts,
Is there any inbuild FLOOR function to do FLOOR func in mathmetics in awk script like in FlOOR Func in C.
Ex:- floor(2.9) = 2
floor(2.1) = 2
floor(2.0) = 2
floor(-2.0) = 2
floor(-2.1) = -3
floor(-2.9) =... (1 Reply)
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to simulate a ceiling or floor function in UNIX? OS is Solaris. I tried the suggestion from an old forum but it is giving me error as below:
server01/tmp$: echo "7.2" | awk '{printf("%d\n",$0+=$0<0?0:0.999)}'
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal... (3 Replies)
