static member Ceiling : single -> single
Public Shared Function Ceiling (x As Single) As Single
Parameters
- x
- Single
The number to take the ceiling of.
Returns
The ceiling of x
Remarks
The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward positive infinity. In other words, if x
is positive, the presence of any fractional component causes x
to be rounded to the next highest integer. If x
is negative, the rounding operation causes any fractional component of x
to be discarded. The operation of this method differs from the Floor(Single) method, which supports rounding toward negative infinity.
