ceil, ceilf, ceill

  • מאמר

Calculates the ceiling of a value.

Syntax

double ceil(
   double x
);
float ceil(
   float x
);  // C++ only
long double ceil(
   long double x
);  // C++ only
float ceilf(
   float x
);
long double ceill(
   long double x
);
#define ceil(X) // Requires C11 or higher

Parameters

x
Floating-point value.

Return value

The ceil functions return a floating-point value that represents the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to x. There's no error return.

Input SEH exception _matherr exception
± QNaN, IND none _DOMAIN

ceil has an implementation that uses Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2). For information and restrictions about using the SSE2 implementation, see _set_SSE2_enable.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of ceil that take float or long double types. In a C program, unless you're using the <tgmath.h> macro to call this function, ceil always takes and returns a double.

If you use the <tgmath.h> ceil() macro, the type of the argument determines which version of the function is selected. See Type-generic math for details.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this state, see Global state in the CRT.
