Ryan Bates (Dec 10 2023 at 15:08): Ryan Bates (Dec 10 2023 at 15:08):I recently discovered Num.divTrunc and Num.divCeil which are quite useful functions. I think I would have discovered them sooner if the names were more consistent with the other functions.
Num.divTrunc instead of Num.divFloor to match Num.floor?Num.divCeil instead of Num.divCeiling to match Num.ceiling? Or maybe Num.ceil instead? Richard Feldman (Dec 10 2023 at 15:51):it's trunc instead of floor because it truncates everything after the decimal point rather than flooring (truncating 1.2 and -1.2 gives 1 and -1, but flooring them gives 1 and -2)
Richard Feldman (Dec 10 2023 at 15:52):I could see an argument for renaming it to Num.ceil :thumbs_up:
Ryan Bates (Dec 10 2023 at 20:01):Thanks for the clarification. It makes more sense now.
