ceil (object -- ceilingValue)

Inputs

• object: Real object rounded upward.

Outputs

• ceilingValue: Least whole-valued real not smaller than object.

ceil accepts Real32 and Real64 objects. The input is dereferenced and must be non-NIL.

Behavior

• A known non-whole positive real rounds upward to the next greater whole-valued real in the same schema.
• A known non-whole negative real rounds upward toward zero, for example -2.1r32 becomes -2.0r32.
• A known whole-valued real is unchanged.
• An unknown real produces an unknown value of the same real schema.
• The result keeps the same real schema as the input. It does not become an Int.

Example

{} () {} [
  "-- real32 --" printCompilerMessage
  2.1r32 ceil printStack _:;
  -2.1r32 ceil printStack _:;
  2.0r32 ceil printStack _:;

  "-- real64 --" printCompilerMessage
  2.1 ceil printStack _:;
  -2.1 ceil printStack _:;
  2.0 ceil printStack _:;
] "main" exportFunction

Expected Output During Compilation

-- real32 --
3.0r32
-2.0r32
2.0r32
-- real64 --
3.0
-2.0
2.0
