MaxCompute:FLOOR

Last Updated:Mar 25, 2026

Returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to the input number.

Syntax

bigint floor(<number>)

Parameters

ParameterRequiredAccepted typesDescription
numberYesDOUBLE, DECIMALThe value to round down. STRING and BIGINT values are implicitly converted to DOUBLE before the calculation.

Return value

Returns a value of the BIGINT type. Returns null if number is null.

FLOOR always returns BIGINT, regardless of the input type. If you pass a DECIMAL value, the fractional part is discarded and the result is BIGINT.

Usage notes

Negative numbers round toward negative infinity. For example, floor(-1.2) returns -2, not -1. Rounding down moves toward negative infinity, not toward zero.

Examples

Static values

select floor(1.2);   -- Returns 1
select floor(0.1);   -- Returns 0
select floor(-1.2);  -- Returns -2
select floor(-0.1);  -- Returns -1
select floor(0.0);   -- Returns 0
select floor(-0.0);  -- Returns 0
select floor(null);  -- Returns null

Table data

The following examples use the mf_math_fun_t table. To create and populate the table:

create table if not exists mf_math_fun_t(
    int_data     int,
    bigint_data  bigint,
    double_data  double,
    decimal_data decimal,
    float_data   float,
    string_data  string
);

insert into mf_math_fun_t values
(null, -10, 0.525, 0.525BD, cast(0.525 as float), '10'),
(-20, null, -0.1, -0.1BD, cast(-0.1 as float), '-10'),
(0, -1, null, 20.45BD, cast(-1 as float), '30'),
(-40, 4, 0.89, null, cast(0.89 as float), '-30'),
(5, -50, -1, -1BD, null, '50'),
(-60, 6, 1.5, 1.5BD, cast(1.5 as float), '-50'),
(-1, -70, -7.5, -7.5BD, cast(-7.5 as float), null),
(-80, 1, -10.2, -10.2BD, cast(-10.2 as float), '-1'),
(9, -90, 2.58, 2.58BD, cast(2.58 as float), '0'),
(-100, 10, -5.8, -5.8BD, cast(-5.8 as float), '-90');

Query the table to verify the data:

Apply FLOOR to BIGINT, DOUBLE, DECIMAL, and STRING columns:

select floor(bigint_data) as bigint_new,
       floor(double_data) as double_new,
       floor(decimal_data) as decimal_new,
       floor(string_data) as string_new
from mf_math_fun_t;
+------------+------------+-------------+------------+
| bigint_new | double_new | decimal_new | string_new |
