Ceil()

The Ceil() function returns a given decimal number rounded up to the next highest integer.

Syntax

import "math"

roundedNumber := math.Ceil(floatingNumber)

The Ceil() function receives a value of type float64 and returns a single value of the same type. This returned value is the next highest integer equal to or greater than the argument.

• When passing Ceil(±Inf), the returned value will be the same as the argument.
• When passing Ceil(Nan), the returned value will be also Nan.
• When passing Ceil(±0), the returned value will be exactly the same as the argument.

Example

package main

import (
    "math" // Required
    "fmt"
    )

func main(){
    score := 18.54
    result := math.Ceil(score)
    fmt.Print(score, " rounded up is ", result, ".")
    }

The expected output is as follows:

18.54 rounded up is 19.
