The greatest integer function, also called the floor function or step function, takes an input and outputs the greatest integer that is less than or equal to the input. If the input is an integer, it outputs that integer, and if the input is not an integer, it outputs the next smallest integer. Some examples of evaluating the greatest integer function are: [[0.5]] = 0, [[9]] = 9, [[0]] = 0, [[-5]] = -5, [[-0.7]] = -1, [[√2]] = 1, [[Π]] = 3, [[- Π]] = -4.

GREATEST INTEGER

FUNCTION
The greatest integer function is also
called as the Floor Function or the
Step Function. It is a function such
that the output is the greatest integer
that is less than or equal to the input.
Or the greatest integer function takes
an input, and the output is given based
on the following two rules:
● If the input is an integer,
then the output is that integer.

● If the input is not an integer,


then the output is equal to the
next smallest integer
f(x)= [x]

- the greater integer less than


or equal to x
Example
Input: X = 2.7 Output: [2.7] = 2
The largest integer that is less than 2.7 is 2. So [2.7] = 2

Input: X = -1.3 Output: [-1.3] = -2


Since the largest integer that is less than -1.3 is -2, so [-1.3] =
2
Let’s see if you understand!

is blocked (dark dot) to show that the
point is a member of the graph, and
the other right endpoint (open circle)
indicates the points that are not the

Domain and Range
Domain = is a set of all x-coordinates in the set
of ordered pairs
Range = is a set of all y-coordinates in the set of
ordered pairs
