floor

Returns the largest integer not greater than x

Syntax

floor(x) (init-, control-, or audio-rate arg allowed)
floor(k/i[]) (k- or i-arrays )

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

Examples

Here is an example of the floor opcode. It uses the file floor.csd.
