Floor and ceiling functions: Applications, Computer implementations & Definition and properties

In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes a real number x as input and returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x, written ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function returns the least integer greater than or equal to x, written ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x).
