The _CEIL function rounds a numeric value up to the next whole number or INTEGER value.


Syntax

result = _CEIL(expression)


  • _CEIL returns he smallest integral value that is greater than the numerical expression (as a floating-point value).
  • This means that _CEIL rounds up for both positive and negative numbers.


Availability

  • QB64 v1.0 and up
  • QB64-PE all versions


Examples

Example: Displaying the rounding behavior of INT, CINT and FIX vs _CEIL.

PRINT INT(2.5), CINT(2.5), FIX(2.5), _CEIL(2.5)
PRINT INT(-2.5), CINT(-2.5), FIX(-2.5), _CEIL(-2.5)
 2        2         2         3
-3       -2        -2        -2
