floor of a float in python

0 votes
I have found two ways of taking floors in Python:

the first one is:

3.1415 // 1
 

and

the second one is :

import math
math.floor(3.1415)
 

The problem with the first approach is that it return a float (namely 3.0). The second approach feels clumsy and too long.Are there alternative solutions for taking floors in Python?

As long as your numbers are positive, you can simply convert to an int to round down to the next integer:

>>> int(3.1415)
3
For negative integers, this will round up, though.
