Flooring ( blackjack)


A practice which reduces every "precise" index number to just an integer (Floored indices, or indexes). When Flooring, all the index numbers are taken down ("floored") to the nearest smaller integer. Examples: +2.95 becomes +2, +1.05 becomes +1, +0.10 becomes 0, -0.05 becomes -1, -3.99 becomes -4. Notice that flooring positive numbers is identical to truncating them. Of course, an index number which has been calculated to be "precisely" an integer, does not change: +3.000000 remains as +3. See also: Rounding, Truncating.
