{{DISPLAYTITLE:_CEIL}}
The '''_CEIL''' function rounds a numeric value up to the next whole number or [[INTEGER]] value. 


{{PageSyntax}}
:: result = [[_CEIL]](''expression'')


* [[_CEIL]] returns he smallest integral value that is greater than the numerical ''expression'' (as a floating-point value).
* This means that [[_CEIL]] rounds up for both positive and negative numbers.

*(Only available in QB64-GL, from Dirty Builds after 06/20/2014. Previous versions of QB64 don't support this command.)


''Example:'' Displaying the rounding behavior of [[INT]], [[CINT]] and [[FIX]] vs [[_CEIL]].
{{CodeStart}}
PRINT INT(2.5), CINT(2.5), FIX(2.5), _CEIL(2.5)
PRINT INT(-2.5), CINT(-2.5), FIX(-2.5), _CEIL(-2.5)
