Does anyone know a block that I can use to round numbers down?

Why is it called "Round to -Infinity" anyway?

Why isn't it called Round down?


What is -2.25 rounded down?  It is a little ambiguous.  Does it round to -2 or -3?  Round Toward -Infinity better defines it, forcing you to think it will correctly round to -3.

 

With that said, I do occasionally wish there was a Round Toward 0.

Good point.

I also sometimes miss Round to 0.

Any other rounding option can easily be made and wrapped into a subVI. Having them in the palette would just contribute to palette bloat and confusion. 😄
