Why does Math.Floor(Double) return a value of type Double?

问题


I need to get the left hand side integer value from a decimal or double. For Ex: I need to get the value 4 from 4.6. I tried using Math.Floor function but it's returning a double value, for ex: It's returning 4.0 from 4.6. The MSDN documentation says that it returns an integer value. Am I missing something here? Or is there a different way to achieve what I'm looking for?


回答1:


The range of double is much wider than the range of int or long. Consider this code:

double d = 100000000000000000000d;
long x = Math.Floor(d); // Invalid in reality

The integer is outside the range of long - so what would you expect to happen?

Typically you know that the value will actually be within the range of int or long, so you cast it:

double d = 1000.1234d;
int x = (int) Math.Floor(d);

but the onus for that cast is on the developer, not on Math.Floor itself. It would have been unnecessarily restrictive to make it just fail with an exception for all values outside the range of long.

According to MSDN, Math.Floor(double) returns a double: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e0b5f0xb.aspx

If you want it as an int:

int result = (int)Math.Floor(yourVariable);

I can see how the MSDN article can be misleading, they should have specified that while the result is an "integer" (in this case meaning whole number) it is still of TYPE Double




回答3:


If you just need the integer portion of a number, cast the number to an int. This will truncate the number at the decimal point.

double myDouble = 4.6;
int myInteger = (int)myDouble;



回答4:


That is correct. Looking at the declaration, Math.Floor(double) yields a double (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e0b5f0xb.aspx). I assume that by "integer" they mean "whole number".




回答5:


Floor leaves it as a double so you can do more double calculations with it. If you want it as an int, cast the result of floor as an int. Don't cast the original double as an int because the rules for floor are different (IIRC) for negative numbers.




回答6:


Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(value)))

This will give you the exact value what you want like if you take 4.6 it returns 4 as output.
