Jack, Check pages 959 and 960 in Section 3.10.4 of The Mathematica Book. You can use LeftFloor and RightFloor as bracketing operators, which in turn are intrepreted as Floor. \[LeftFloor] 3.2 \[RightFloor] 3 These can also be entered as esc-lf-esc and esc-rf-esc.

A commonly used symbol for the Floor function is a square bracket with the upper indents removed. Is this symbol part of Mathematica's built-in symbols? I think not, so then, can it be constructed "by hand". Jack
