## ceil

ceil — Returns the smallest integer not less than x

## Description

Returns the smallest integer not less than x

## Syntax

    ceil(x) (init-, control-, or audio-rate arg allowed)

    ceil(k/i[]) (k- or i-arrays )

where the argument within the parentheses may be an expression. Value converters perform arithmetic translation from units of one kind to units of another. The result can then be a term in a further expression.

## Examples

Here is an example of the ceil opcode. It uses the file ceil.csd.

Example 109. Example of the ceil opcode.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.

    ; Audio out   Audio in    No messages
    -odac     ;;;RT audio out
    ;-iadc    ;;;uncomment -iadc if RT audio input is needed too

    sr = 44100
    ksmps = 32
    nchnls = 2

    instr 1

    inum = p4
    iceil = ceil(inum)
    print iceil

    endin

Its output should include lines like:

    instr 1:  iceil = -1.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 1.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 1.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 1.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 0.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 0.000
    instr 1:  iceil = 0.000
