Yes, that will get the integer part of positive numbers, but it won't get the
integer part of negative numbers. For example, -1.1 will be rounded down to -2.
I'm afraid you'll have to use some if statements to make it work for negative
numbers too (ie if it's a negative number, do the opposite of floor(), which
could be named roof() and be a new function you could implement).
