Java ceil() method with Examples

Java 8 Object Oriented Programming Programming

The java.lang.Math.ceil() returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) double value that is greater than or equal to the argument and is equal to a mathematical integer. Special cases −

If the argument value is already equal to a mathematical integer, then the result is the same as the argument.
If the argument is NaN or an infinity or positive zero or negative zero, then the result is the same as the argument.
If the argument value is less than zero but greater than -1.0, then the result is negative zero.

Example

Following is an example to implement the ceil() method in Java −

import java.lang.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // get two double numbers
      double x = 125.9;
      double y = 0.4873;
      // call ceal for these these numbers
      System.out.println("Math.ceil(" + x + ")=" + Math.ceil(x));
      System.out.println("Math.ceil(" + y + ")=" + Math.ceil(y));
      System.out.println("Math.ceil(-0.65)=" + Math.ceil(-0.65));
   }
}

Output

Math.ceil(125.9)=126.0
Math.ceil(0.4873)=1.0
Math.ceil(-0.65)=-0.0

Example

Let us see another example with negative input values −

Import java.lang.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // get two double numbers
      double x = 0.20;
      double y = -2.4;
      // call ceal for these these numbers
      System.out.println("Math.ceil(" + x + ")=" + Math.ceil(x));
      System.out.println("Math.ceil(" + y + ")=" + Math.ceil(y));
   }
}

Output

Math.ceil(0.2)=1.0
Math.ceil(-2.4)=-2.0
