)

public static double Ceiling (

)

public static function Ceiling (
	a : double
) : double

Not applicable.

Parameters

a

A double-precision floating-point number.

Return Value

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 a is positive, the presence of any fractional component causes a to be rounded to the next highest integer. If a is negative, the rounding operation causes any fractional component of a to be discarded. The operation of this method differs from the Floor method, which supports rounding toward negative infinity.

The following example illustrates the Math.Ceiling(Double) method and contrasts it with the Floor(Double) method.
