round() rounds to closest int (1.4 = 1, 1.6 = 2)

you mean floor() method? It rounds numbers towards smaller int. (1.4 = 1, 1.9 = 1)

"floor" follows the mathematical definition for "integer part": it's the largest integer that is smaller than the given value. So watch it! For negative numbers, it's not about dropping the decimal part: from math import floor print(floor(2.4)) # 2 print(floor(-2.4)) # -3
