The Round Down block rounds a number down, toward zero if positive and away from zero if negative.

For information on using dataflow blocks, see Dataflow.

For accepted and excluded arguments of Number Formatting blocks, see Number Formatting.

The following properties of the Round Down block can take input and give output.

• input (number)
• precision (number)

input specifies any real number that you want rounded down.

precision specifies the number of digits after the decimal to round the number to. A value of 0, less than 0, or null rounds the number down to an integer. This property is not shown on the block itself; set it in the block property inspector (the right-hand panel of the dataflow window) or bind to it.

The following properties of the Round Down block can give output but cannot take input.

• output (number or string)

output returns the rounded-down number. If precision is greater than 0, output returns the number as a string with exactly precision digits after the decimal.

The following image shows an example of the Round Down block. In this example, the number 76.9 is rounded down to an integer.
