It seems to yield what I am looking for but I'm wondering if it could possibly induce strange bugs or have undesired behavior. Thank you.

It will definitely introduce some WTF's. Just use regular `Math.floor`. **Explicit is better than implicit.** – Kamil Latosinski Feb 28 '17 at 13:46
Thank you @DavidThomas, I found what I needed in your link ! – raphaelSeguin Feb 28 '17 at 13:57
@KamilLatosinski Math.floor doesn't return the entire part for negative numbers. Thanks anyway, your true about explicitness. – raphaelSeguin Feb 28 '17 at 14:00
