# Floor division

In Mathematics and Computer Science, **floor** is the smallest possible integer value returned for a double or float value (non-integer values).

For example, `8/3` has a non-integer value of `2.6667`; so, applying the floor function would return a value of `2`.




# Code
There are functions used to apply floor in different languages:

## C++
In C++, we have to include the `cmath` library and the function to call `floor()`:




#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {

  double ans;
  ans = 8.0 / 3.0 ;
  cout<<"The normal value for 8/3 would be: "<< ans<<endl;
  // now printing the floor value for 6/5
  cout<<"The floor value for 8/3 would be: "<< floor(ans)<<endl;

  
  return 0;
}

## Python
In python, we can use `//` operator:


print('Normal value for 8/3:',8/3)
print('Floor value for 8/3:',8//3)

## Java
In Java, we can use `Math.floor()`:


class FloorDivision {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        System.out.println( "Normal value for 8/3: ");
        System.out.println( 8.0/3.0 );
        System.out.println( "floor value for 8/3: ");
        System.out.println(Math.floor(8.0/3.0));
    }
}

How to do floor division in Python/Java/C++

Floor division returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number, using specific functions in C++, Python, and Java.
