[python]
---help(math.floor):
Help on built-in function floor in module math:
floor(...)
floor(x)
Return the floor of x as a float.
This is the largest integral value <= x.
[/python]
The whole point of floor() is to round down. If you want to see all the
decimals, don't use floor(), and follow Aidan's advice to have at least
one floating-point number in the calculation.
