Rounding numbers down (v2)

Revision 2 of this benchmark created on

Description

Note that some of the listed alternatives to Math.floor() use bitwise operators, which convert numbers to a 32-bit sequence.

These alternatives will only work with positive signed 32-bit floats, i.e. numbers from 0 to +2,147,483,647 (2^31-1).

~~2147483647.1; // 2147483647
~~2147483648.1; // -2147483648
