Bracket Function: Reported By: Sheena G. Valenzuela

The bracket function, also known as the greatest integer function, rounds a real number down to the nearest integer. It is denoted by [x] and returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Some key properties are that [x] = x if x is an integer, [x] is always less than or equal to x but greater than or equal to x - 1, and [x] + n = [x + n] for any real number x and integer n.
