Returns the largest integral value less than or equal to the specified decimal number.
public:
static System::Decimal Floor(System::Decimal d);public static decimal Floor (decimal d);static member Floor : decimal -> decimalPublic Shared Function Floor (d As Decimal) As DecimalParameters
- d
- Decimal
A decimal number.
Returns
The largest integral value less than or equal to d. Note that the method returns an integral value of type Decimal.
Examples
The following example illustrates the Math.Floor(Decimal) method and contrasts it with the Ceiling(Decimal) method.
decimal[] values = {7.03m, 7.64m, 0.12m, -0.12m, -7.1m, -7.6m};
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor\n");
foreach (decimal value in values)
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}",
value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value));
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Value Ceiling Floor
//
// 7.03 8 7
// 7.64 8 7
// 0.12 1 0
// -0.12 0 -1
// -7.1 -7 -8
// -7.6 -7 -8
// The ceil and floor functions may be used instead.
let values =
[ 7.03m; 7.64m; 0.12m; -0.12m; -7.1m; -7.6m ]
printfn " Value Ceiling Floor\n"
for value in values do
printfn $"{value,7} {Math.Ceiling value,16} {Math.Floor value,14}"
// The example displays the following output to the console:
// Value Ceiling Floor
//
// 7.03 8 7
// 7.64 8 7
// 0.12 1 0
// -0.12 0 -1
// -7.1 -7 -8
// -7.6 -7 -8
Dim values() As Decimal = {7.03d, 7.64d, 0.12d, -0.12d, -7.1d, -7.6d}
Console.WriteLine(" Value Ceiling Floor")
Console.WriteLine()
For Each value As Decimal In values
Console.WriteLine("{0,7} {1,16} {2,14}", _
value, Math.Ceiling(value), Math.Floor(value))

Remarks
The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward negative infinity. In other words, if d is positive, any fractional component is truncated. If d is negative, the presence of any fractional component causes it to be rounded to the smaller integer. The operation of this method differs from the Ceiling method, which supports rounding toward positive infinity.

Starting with Visual Basic 15.8, the performance of Double-to-integer conversion is optimized if you pass the value returned by the Floor method to the any of the integral conversion functions, or if the Double value returned by Floor is automatically converted to an integer with Option Strict set to Off. This optimization allows code to run faster -- up to twice as fast for code that does a large number of conversions to integer types. The following example illustrates such optimized conversions:
Dim d1 As Double = 1043.75133
Dim i1 As Integer = CInt(Math.Floor(d1)) ' Result: 1043
Dim d2 As Double = 7968.4136
Dim i2 As Integer = CInt(Math.Floor(d2)) ' Result: 7968
