How to round down a float using import math

Question

I have a variable that is a float, and I can't find out how to round it down.

I did a google search and it said I should use trunc, but trunc didn't work for me.

Answer 1

if you always want to round down and are getting positive floats, just use int() .. otherwise you can use math.floor(), which can handle negative floats too

>>> math.floor(3.99)
3
>>> int(-0.1)
0
>>> int(-1.2)
-1
>>> math.floor(-1.2)
-2
