Round up a value to the next integer
#include <math.h> double ceil( double x ); float ceilf( float x );
The ceil() and ceilf() functions round the value of x up to the next integer (rounding towards the "ceiling").
The smallest integer ≥ x.
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main( void ) { printf( "%f %f %f %f %f\n", ceil( -2.1 ), ceil( -2. ), ceil( 0.0 ), ceil( 2. ), ceil( 2.1 ) ); return EXIT_SUCCESS; }
produces the output:
-2.000000 -2.000000 0.000000 2.000000 3.000000
