Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function Ceiling ( _ d As Decimal _ ) As Decimal
C#
public static decimal Ceiling( decimal d )
Parameters
- d

Examples
The following example uses the Ceiling method to round an array of Decimal values.
Visual Basic
Dim values() As Decimal = {12.6d, 12.1d, 9.5d, 8.16d, .1d, -1.1d, -3.9d} For Each value As Decimal In values outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} -> {1}", value, _ Decimal.Ceiling(value)) + vbCrLf Next ' The example displays the following output: ' 12.6 -> 13 ' 12.1 -> 13 ' 9.5 -> 10 ' 8.16 -> 9 ' 0.1 -> 1 ' -1.1 -> -1 ' -3.9 -> -3
C#
decimal[] values = {12.6m, 12.1m, 9.5m, 8.16m, .1m, -1.1m, -3.9m}; foreach (decimal value in values) outputBlock.Text += String.Format("{0} -> {1}\n", value, Decimal.Ceiling(value)); // The example displays the following output: // 12.6 -> 13 // 12.1 -> 13 // 9.5 -> 10 // 8.16 -> 9 // 0.1 -> 1 // -1.1 -> -1 // -3.9 -> -3
