It doesn't matter whether the calculated value is larger or smaller than the comparison value.Usually it's for very small numbers that cannot be displayed by the system such as 0.000001. Something like that is multiplied by a million along with something else, and then the difference of the two is checked to see if it's close to zero enough.

you have it wrong, int will round-down, fix simply truncates whether positive or negative, it's the same
int(-1234567.8) -> -1234568 , -1234568 < -1234567
