As the title says, I'm trying to round down to the [I}lower integer.

Just to be clear; An input of 3.7 would return 3 and NOT 4 as would occur using the round() expression.

Thanks <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Use floor(x)

From the Manual: floor(x) Round down x e.g. floor(5.9) = 5

Hint: Check out all the system expressions in the Manual.

You know what? I really felt like I missed out giving the answer to this one. So, I'll just ignore the previous posters

you can use the floor() function. so floor(3.7) would return 3.

Hope I helped. <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Sorry for leaping in first (and for going over the top with my reply by including Manual links). In future, if I'm tempted to reply to a thread that you haven't already replied to, I'll send you a PM offering you first right of reply. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

That's simple! I can't believe nobody has answered yellow.

Use the floor function.

Eg. floor(3.7) would return a 3. (coincidentally identical example)

Yay for post whoring and overly helpful thread!

Wow, no one knows the answer? Seriously guys?

*sigh* I guess I gotta be the one to help the poor guy... Fine. Just use the floor() function. <img src="smileys/smiley14.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks everyone (and especially Sqiddster)!

I knew there must be a system expression to do that but I couldn't find it anywhere. I had overlooked the System Reference section of the manual <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I've never needed to use Math.floor before, otherwise it would have been blindingly obvious. How embarrassing.

Yes. Anyway. Thank you, chaps! <img src="smileys/smiley42.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
