2Have you looked up the methods, what did you find. – Trevor May 28 '21 at 11:32

1Try the same exercise with `-5.4`. – Jeroen Mostert May 28 '21 at 11:33

Floor(-2.1) will result in -3,
while Truncate(-2.1) will result in -2.
Truncate "cuts" off after the decimal point.
Floor on the other hand is a mathematical function that rounds downwards to the nearest integer.

You answer only tells the OP what the output of those functions will be, not why it is that those functions output those values. Consider editing your answer to give OP insight into why the outputs of the functions differ. – Timotheus May 31 '21 at 07:59
