Template:Ceil

Template:Template documentation Implements the mathematical ceil function, i.e. returns the input value if it’s an integer, otherwise returns the lowest integer which is still greater than the input value.

For positive numbers, it will truncate the displayed decimals. For negative numbers, the decimals will be dropped, but the integer part of the absolute value displayed is decremented. This is the mathemetical definition of the IEEE rounding mode toward minus infinite.

Usage:

{{Ceil|value}}

Examples:

• {{Ceil|3.9}} = 4.
• {{Ceil|3.5}} = 4.
• {{Ceil|3.1}} = 4.
• {{Ceil|3.0}} = 3.
• {{Ceil|1.0}} = 1.
• {{Ceil|0.9}} = 1.
• {{Ceil|0.5}} = 1.
• {{Ceil|0.1}} = 1.
• {{Ceil|0.0}} = 0.
• {{Ceil|-0.1}} = 0.
• {{Ceil|-0.5}} = 0.
• {{Ceil|-0.9}} = 0.
• {{Ceil|-1.0}} = -1.
• {{Ceil|-3.0}} = -3.
• {{Ceil|-3.2}} = -3.
• {{Ceil|-3.5}} = -3.
• {{Ceil|-3.9}} = -3.
