CEIL(3) 1 CEIL(3)ceil - Round fractions upSYNOPSIS
float ceil (float $value)
DESCRIPTION
Returns the next highest integer value by rounding up $value if necessary.
PARAMETERS
o $value
- The value to round
RETURN VALUES
$value rounded up to the next highest integer. The return value of ceil(3) is still of type float as the value range of float is usually
bigger than that of integer.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
ceil(3) example
<?php
echo ceil(4.3); // 5
echo ceil(9.999); // 10
echo ceil(-3.14); // -3
?>

ceil(3M) Mathematical Library Functions ceil(3M)NAME
ceil, ceilf, ceill - ceiling value function
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double ceil(double x);
float ceilf(float x);
long double ceill(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the smallest integral value not less than x.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the ceil(), ceilf(), and ceill() functions return the smallest integral value not less than x, expressed as a
type double, float, or long double, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.
USAGE
The integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible as an int or long int. The return value should be tested before
assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an integer overflow.

Good morning,
I'm testing the use of ceilf:
/*Filename: str.c*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main (void)
{
float ceilf(float x);
int dev=3, result=0;
float tmp = 3.444f;
printf("Result: %f\n",ceilf(tmp));
return 0;

Dear guys;
How can I get the ceiling value of any floating number using shell or awk scripts or functions.
Example:-
old values "7.2" or "7.8" or "7.5" --->>> ceiling function ---->>> new value "8".

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to simulate a ceiling or floor function in UNIX? OS is Solaris. I tried the suggestion from an old forum but it is giving me error as below:
server01/tmp$: echo "7.2" | awk '{printf("%d\n",$0+=$0<0?0:0.999)}'
awk: syntax error near line 1

Hi,
I have the following code in which i am trying to find ceil of 10th & 11th fields. For finding ceil i have a function in the awk statement. When i test it for some values say on command line it gives correct response(say $10=0 & $11=750). But when the same value occurs in a file having more 3... (5 Replies)
