It is not clear, though, that the authors meant this to be applicable to negative real numbers. More recent sources define "integral part" as equivalent (or even explicitly as equal) to the floor function. The statement in the latter source that 191: 1221: 2516: 1490: 1189: 2048: 1723: 1435:

These functions are usually used with floating point numbers, an approximation of the real number system that has some important differences. Using them with real numbers gives some results that may be unexpected: floor(0.99999...) = 1 because 0.9 repeating is equal to 1. floor( max(0,1) ) = 0 using

I think a common name for the "integral part" function is "truncation". Certainly in computer science it is called that. May want to mention it. Also it sure looks like does not mean this truncation function all the time, or even the majority of the time. Can't find any modern examples of it's use,

Can someone please explain this? From what I can tell, rounding up to the nearest integer should be equivalent to ceiling, and similarly for rounding down equaling floor. The section referenced and the definitions of floor and ceiling are all incredibly technical and thus useless to anyone that has
1697:
Both "smaller" and "lower" involve an implicit agreement between reader and author about how bigness (whether in the language of size or height) works for negative numbers. We could make explicit that the order relation in question is the usual total order on the real numbers, but I don't believe
924:
If a word/phrase is used to mean a certain thing, it takes that definition no matter the original meaning(see the words "awful" and "awesome" for example). On top of this, without the common definitions of the terms "round up" and "round down", the terms are,to my knowledge, meaningless in math.

I saw that in a StackOverflow question when searching for whether means floor or round-toward-zero, but no reliabla reference. I agree it is possible this is in error, and in fact does not define the behavior for negative numbers. That would at least make it not conflict with the use of for

does not normally results into 1 (some clever compilers may produce 1., by rearranging the order of operations). Here the floor function is specific because it is not continuous, which means that one cannot get a good approximation of the correct result by increasing the accuracy (size of the

I am a bit baffled by the statement, "truncation to zero significant digits is the same as the integer part". In my mind, truncation of a value to zero significant digits is the same as introducing complete ambiguity in its magnitude. I was tempted to change the text to "truncation to zero

I also agree, in lay use the term "round down" and "round up" are equivalent floor and ceiling for positive numbers. Perhaps they are technically incorrect by using the word "round" but not returning the closest integer, but the terms are certainly used this way right or
1908: 1253:
I think it would be useful to say somewhere that the definition of "integer part" given in the introduction is only valid in some countries. In France for example, this is equal to the floor function : see the french page "partie entière" of wikipedia.
1894:{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\lfloor x\rfloor +\lfloor y\rfloor &\leq \lfloor x+y\rfloor \leq \lfloor x\rfloor +\lfloor y\rfloor +1,\\\lceil x\rceil +\lceil y\rceil -1&\leq \lceil x+y\rceil \leq \lceil x\rceil +\lceil y\rceil .\end{aligned}}} 1415:
are, I think, ambiguous between the "floor" definition and the "truncate towards zero" definition. We can certainly rewrite the lead (with sources) to clarify all that. I don't have the time to do that right now, but I encourage you to do so yourself.
925:
Because of these two things, I feel adding them would increase the average person's understanding without degrading the expert's understanding, especially if the clarification that this would be a simplified version of the definition.
153: 893:), and these two functions correspond to the rounding rules "round down" and "round up". It would be good if the first sentence were less technical, and mentioning rounding somewhere in the lead would also be reasonable. -- 888:
on two points here: first, that the current first description is bizarrely technical, and second, that the floor and ceiling functions are particular rounding functions. In particular, there are lots of rounding rules (see
1681:
I'm concerned that at least some people think -1 is "smaller" than -2, and the use of the word "smallest" in the opening paragraphs is incorrect. I tried changing it to "lowest" but that got reverted. Any opinions on this?
1329:
Since this function and notation is very specific, is only mentioned briefly in the lead and the Notation section, and, as far as I know, rarely used, I think this should be moved in its entirety back into the Applications
969:"floor(0.99999...) = 1 because 0.9 repeating is equal to 1." -- this is a fact about the rounding of 0.999..., not about the floor function; if floor(0.999...) returns 1, it means that the argument was actually 1.0. 1698:
this will help the (in my estimation, very small) percentage of people who believe both that -1 is smaller than -2 and that -2 is lower than -1. But, I would also be happy to hear the views of other editors. --

I wonder if this is strictly an issue of language -- in which case it doesn't belong in the English WP -- or if different authors have different definitions, in which case we should mention that. --
2126: 2119: 1358:
I have only seen the function described as "trunc(x)" or "int(x)". I would like to see some reference that anybody uses "" for truncation. I am worried that this is a wikipedia-made-up "fact".

Apparently this notation (and names) was invented by the APL programming language designers in the 1960s. To do: Find a reliable source. Previous (and different) notations go back to Gauss.

So I think it would make sense to update the article's text to clarify that while each inequality need not be strict, they can't simultaneously be equal. That is, for any given
1610: 2294: 433: 371: 972:"floor( max(0,1) ) = 0 using the range notation for all numbers between 0 and 1 exclusive." -- max(0,1) is not a standard notation for "all number between 0 and 1 exclusive". 44: 1315:
We had a section on truncation in this article, but there's actually a full article on it. I added a mention to the lead with a link and removed the unnecessary section. --

One of the two inequalities in each of these two "chains" must be strict, otherwise we would end up with the following contradictions:
