SYNOPSIS

11
12       double ceil(double x);

DESCRIPTION

22       These functions compute the smallest integral value not less than x.
23

RETURN VALUES

25       Upon  successful completion, the ceil(), ceilf(), and ceill() functions
26       return the smallest integral value not less than x, expressed as a type
27       double, float, or long double, respectively.
28
29
30       If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
31
32
33       If x is ±0 or ±Inf, x is returned.
34

USAGE

36       The  integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible
37       as an int or long int. The return value should be tested before assign‐
38       ing  it to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an integer
39       overflow.
