## Description ## Usage *result* = **Ceil**(*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 Ceil function to return ceiling of a number. ``` xojo Var d As Double d = Ceil(1.234) ' returns 2 ``` --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Because Ceil 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 Ceil 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: ``` xojo Var d As Double d = Ceil(1.234 * 100) / 100 ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems. ## See also `Ceiling`, `Floor`, `Round` functions.
