Python math ceil














































Python math ceil



ceil() function of the math module




Functionality :

  • This function will return the ceiling value of the number passed as a parameter.

  • Ceiling value is the smallest integer greater than or equal to the given number.

  • math.ceil(x)

For example :

1. Ceiling value of 11.7 is 12

The smallest integer greater than 11.7 is 12.


2. Ceiling value of 12 is 12.

12 is an integer and the smallest integer is equal to 12.


3. Ceiling value of 12.3 is 13


Parameters:

  • It will take only one parameter: ceil(x)

  • required parameter

  • x must be a number you want to round to its ceiling value.

  • If x is not a number then TypeError occurs.


Return Type:

In Python3.x

Return an integer which denotes the ceiling value

In Python2

Return a float value which denotes the ceiling value


Sample program (Python3.x):


import math
returnValue1=math.ceil(11.7) # return the ceiling value
returnValue2=math.ceil(12)
returnValue3=math.ceil(12.3)
print("Ceiling value of 11.7 is : ",returnValue1)
print("Ceiling value of 12 is : ",returnValue2)
print("Ceiling value of 12.3 is : ",returnValue3)

#check the return type
print(type(returnValue1))
print(type(returnValue2))
print(type(returnValue3))

Output :

Ceiling value of 11.7 is : 12
Ceiling value of 12 is : 12
Ceiling value of 12.3 is : 13
<class 'int'>
<class 'int'>
<class 'int'>




If parameter passed is not a number then TypeError will occur
