Not really, but it's okay to think about it in that way in this case because every single number is positive.
Truncating:
1.5 => 1
-1.5 => -1
Flooring:
1.5 => 1
-1.5 => -2
Edit: Woo ninja.

This is different from typecasting "int", though. "int" rounds toward zero whereas floor rounds down. That makes truncation different for values below zero. For the purposes of this calculation, though, floor and typecasting int do the same thing.
That depends on your language, in Python 2.6.5, int(-1.5) will give you -1 (tried just now).

And also consider that I am a python programmer. hahaha

Ah, my bad, I read it backwards, sorry. X_X
Off topic, but is there any advantage to using Python 3 over Python 2?
