💖 fixfloor(3) 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're reading the Allegro manual together and today's main character is fixfloor. she's a lil math girlie and she is so useful, no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fixfloor — Returns the greatest integer not greater than x. Allegro game programming library.

like. she floors things. that's her whole vibe. 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

int fixfloor(fixed x);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea: fixfloor returns the greatest integer not greater than x. which is a fancy way of saying it rounds towards negative infinity. she never rounds up, she never betrays you, she just goes down. periodt. 👑

here's an example so you can see her slay:

int result;
/* This will put 33 into `result'. */
result = fixfloor(itofix(100) / 3);
/* And this will round down to 16. */
result = fixfloor(itofix(100) / 6);

the way that 100/3 becomes 33 and 100/6 rounds down to 16… it's giving precision, it's giving consistency, it's giving exactly what you asked for. 🔥
