Worth:
Worth reading

Length:
Just right

Technical:
Not technical enough

Comments:
The solution doesn't tell the whole story, because if the number is negative, Math.floor will return the next LOWER integer, which is probably not a desirable result.

The answer should really be implemented as:

function getint(v) {
if (v<0) {
return(Math.ceil(v));
} else {
return(Math.floor(v));
}
}
