Find ceil of a/b without using ceil() function in C++.
Here we will see how to get the ceiling value of a/b without using the ceil() function. If a = 5, b = 4, then (a/b) = 5/4. ceiling(5/4) = 2. To solve this, we can follow this simple formula −
$$ceil\lgroup a,b\rgroup=\frac{a+b-1}{b}$$
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int ceiling(int a, int b) {
return (a+b-1)/b;
}
int main() {
cout << "Ceiling of (5/4): " << ceiling(5, 4) <<endl;
cout << "Ceiling of (100/3): " << ceiling(100, 3) <<endl;
cout << "Ceiling of (49/7): " << ceiling(49, 7) <<endl;
}Output
Ceiling of (5/4): 2 Ceiling of (100/3): 34 Ceiling of (49/7): 7
