What is a Ceiling Function?
In mathematics and computer science, the floor and ceiling functions map a real number to the greatest preceding or the least succeeding integer, respectively. More precisely, floor(x) = ⌊x⌋ is the greatest integer less than or equal to x and ceiling(x) = ⌈x⌉ is the least integer greater than or equal to x.1
