What is the difference between int() and floor() in Python 3?

Question

In Python 2, floor() returned a float value. Although not obvious to me, I found a few explanations clarifying why it may be useful to have floor()

Answer 1

floor() rounds down. int() truncates. The difference is clear when you use negative numbers:

>>> import math
>>> math.floor(-3.5)
-4
>>> int(-3.5)
-3

Rounding down on negative numbers means that they move away from 0, truncating moves them closer to 0.

Putting it differently, the floor() is always going to be lower or equal to the original. int() is going to be closer to zero or equal.
