Flooring (blackjack)
A practice which reduces every "precise" index number
to just an integer (Floored indices, or indexes). When Flooring,
all the index numbers are taken down ("floored") to
the nearest smaller integer. Examples: +2.95 becomes +2, +1.05
becomes +1, +0.10 becomes 0, - 0.05 becomes - 1, - 3.99 becomes - 4. Notice that flooring positive numbers is identical to truncating
them. Of course, an index number which has been calculated to
be "precisely" an integer, does not change: +3.000000
remains as +3. See also: Rounding, Truncating.
