  • Английский (американский вариант)

I can’t think of why you would round 6.8 up to 7, but round 7.6 down to 7. I don’t know a word for that.

There’s a ceiling function, which is commonly called «ceil» in programming. But that would round 7.6 up to 8.




  • Испанский

Thanks again for that, but could you please tell me a little more about that function ceal?




  • Английский (американский вариант)

it’s «ceil». it always rounds up. so ceil(6.8) = 7, ceil(7.1) = 8, ceil(7.9) = 8, ceil(5) = 5
