floor(*args)
public
Returns the largest number less than or equal to float with a precision of ndigits decimal digits (default: 0).
When the precision is negative, the returned value is an integer with at least ndigits.abs trailing zeros.
Returns a floating point number when ndigits is positive, otherwise returns an integer.

Note that the limited precision of floating point arithmetic might lead to surprising results:
(0.3 / 0.1).floor #=> 2 (!)
