Global Method
Usage
result = Ceiling(value)
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| result | The ceiling of value. |
| value | The value you want the ceiling of. |
Notes
The result of this function is a Double, but it will always contain a whole number.
Sample Code
This code uses the Ceiling function to return ceiling of a number.
Because Ceiling will always return a whole number, to round a decimal value to a certain number of places, you must first multiple the number by 10^(the number of decimal places to which you wish to round) then take the value returned by Ceiling of that number and divide it by 10^(the number of decimal places to which you wish to round). In this code, the value 1.2345 is being rounded to two decimal places:
