MathF.Ceiling(Single) Method

Definition

Returns the smallest integral value that is greater than or equal to the specified single-precision floating-point number.

public:
 static float Ceiling(float x);
public static float Ceiling (float x);
static member Ceiling : single -> single
Public Shared Function Ceiling (x As Single) As Single

Parameters

x
Single

The number to take the ceiling of.

Returns

The ceiling of x

Remarks

The behavior of this method follows IEEE Standard 754, section 4. This kind of rounding is sometimes called rounding toward positive infinity. In other words, if x is positive, the presence of any fractional component causes x to be rounded to the next highest integer. If x is negative, the rounding operation causes any fractional component of x to be discarded. The operation of this method differs from the Floor(Single) method, which supports rounding toward negative infinity.
