Function: llCeil

integer llCeil(float fval)

Round a float up to the closest integer greater than or equal to it.

Parameters

fval

The float value to be rounded up.

Return value

The float value that is the nearest integer greater or equal to fval.

Notes

  • The function returns -2147483648 (Hex. 80000000) for float values of 2147483648.0 or bigger, or less than -2147483648.0, or NaN

Short examples

integer i;
i = llCeil(3.0);    // Sets i to 3, which is greater or equal to 3.0 (in this case, equal).
i = llCeil(3.001);  // Sets i to 4, not 3, because 3 is less than 3.001 and the result must be greater or equal.
i = llCeil(3.999);  // Sets i to 4
i = llCeil(4.0);    // Sets i to 4
i = llCeil(-3.0);   // Sets i to -3
i = llCeil(-3.001); // Sets i to -3, which is greater or equal to -3.001 (in this case, greater)
i = llCeil(-3.999); // Sets i to -3
i = llCeil(-4.0);   // Sets i to -4
