## Description Returns the ceiling of a number by rounding it up to the nearest whole number. ## Sample code Get the ceiling of a number: ``` xojo Using Xojo.Math Dim d As Double d = Ceil(1.234) ' returns 2 ``` --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ceil only works to whole numbers so if you want to round a value to a specific number of decimal places, you first have to multiple the number by 10^(number of decimal places), calculate the Ceil and then divide it by the same value to get the number. For example, this example rounds 1.2345 to 1.3: ``` xojo Using Xojo.Math Dim d As Double Const kDecimalPlaces = 1 d = Ceil(1.2345 * (10 ^ kDecimalPlaces)) / (10 ^ kDecimalPlaces) ' d = 1.3 ``` ## Compatibility All project types on all supported operating systems.
