math.floor
math.floor is a function used to round a number down to the nearest integer:
math.floor(5.112) = 5
math.floor(5.88) = 5
math.floor(-12.8) = -13
math.ciel
math.ciel is the opposite of math.floor, because it rounds up to nearest integer:
math.ciel(5.112) = 6
math.ciel(5.88) = 6
math.ciel(-12.8) = -12
Usage:
Both of these functions can be used to show a simplified form of data (e.g, the percentage of someones health is often <num>.<long-num>like 12.11211312423, and these functions will round it either 12% or 13%).
Hope I helped!

Why are you trying to avoid the bad title filter? Too powerful?
