Example Abstraction

What if we want to use "floor" in a complex expression?
We could write the entire loop for every number that needed "floor"-ing
Instead, put it all in a function of our own, called "floor":

    def floor(number):
        result = 0
        while result < number:
            result = result+1
        result = result-1
        return result

Now that we have defined it, we can use it like this:

    x = 2.7
    y = floor(2.7)
