Many programming languages (including C, C++, C#, Java, Julia, PHP, R, and Python) provide standard functions for floor and ceiling, usually called floor and ceil, or less commonly ceiling.Sullivan, p. 86. The language APL uses ⌊x for floor. The J Programming Language, a follow-on to APL that is designed to use standard keyboard symbols, uses <. for floor and >. for ceiling. ALGOL usesentier for floor.
