Is the question about the rounding of values that end in 0.5 exactly, since round() typically rounds those up?

both fix and floor will give the same answer for positive decimal numbers (if your intention is to round down regardless the decimal value)
But they will produce different results for negative decimals:
1. fix
fix rounds towards 0
fix(10.5) = 10
fix(-10.5) = -10
2. floor
floor rounds towards negative infinity
floor(10.5) = 10
floor(-10.5) = -11
