Ceil

Result = Ceil(Value#)

Parameters:

Value# = The value you wish to floor

Returns:

Result = The truncated integer

      The Ceil function returns a floating-point value representing the largest integer that is greater than or equal to Value#.

FACTS:

      * Floor is the opposite of Ceil.

      * RoundUp and Ceil are not the same functionality.

Mini Tutorial:

; set up a for next loop
  For lp=0 To 100 Step 10

   ; make V# equal to the loop counter divided by 100
     v#=lp/100.0
     Print "     V#="+Str$(V#)

   ; display V#  rounded up
     Print "RoundUp:"+Str$(RoundUp(V#))

   ; display V#  trancated by Ceil()
     Print "   Ceil:"+Str$(Ceil(V#))

  Next
