If a number and precision are positive, the value is rounded up.

If a number and precision are negative, the value is rounded up.

Example

To execute the example, add a link to the MathFin system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    r1, r2, r3: Double;
Begin
    r1 := Math.Ceiling(1.5,0.1);
    Debug.WriteLine(r1);
    r2 := Math.Ceiling(-2.5,-2);
    Debug.WriteLine(r2);
    r3 := Math.Ceiling(-2.5,2);
    Debug.WriteLine(r3);
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console window displays rounding results:

Number and precision are positive: 1.5.
Number and precision are negative: -4.
Number is negative and precision is positive: -2.
