About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

ceiln

Round a numeric value to the nearest multiple of 10^n toward positive infinity.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-ceiln

Alternatively,

• To load the package in a website via a script tag without installation and bundlers, use the ES Module available on the esm branch (see README).
• If you are using Deno, visit the deno branch (see README for usage intructions).
• For use in Observable, or in browser/node environments, use the Universal Module Definition (UMD) build available on the umd branch (see README).

The branches.md file summarizes the available branches and displays a diagram illustrating their relationships.

To view installation and usage instructions specific to each branch build, be sure to explicitly navigate to the respective README files on each branch, as linked to above.

Usage

var ceiln = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-ceiln' );

ceiln( x, n )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest multiple of 10^n toward positive infinity.

// Round a value to 2 decimal places:
var v = ceiln( 3.141592653589793, -2 );
// returns 3.15

// If n = 0, `ceiln` behaves like `ceil`:
v = ceiln( 3.141592653589793, 0 );
// returns 4.0

// Round a value to the nearest thousand:
v = ceiln( 12368.0, 3 );
// returns 13000.0

Notes

• When operating on floating-point numbers in bases other than 2, rounding to specified digits can be inexact. For example,

  var x = 0.2 + 0.1;
  // returns 0.30000000000000004
  
  // Should round to 0.3:
  var v = ceiln( x, -16 );
  // returns 0.3000000000000001

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var ceiln = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-ceiln' );

var x;
var n;
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    n = ceiln( randu()*5.0, 0 );
    v = ceiln( x, -n );
    console.log( 'x: %d. Number of decimals: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, n, v );
}

C APIs

Usage

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/ceiln.h"

stdlib_base_ceiln( x, n )

Rounds a double-precision floating-point number to the nearest multiple of 10^n toward positive infinity.

// Round a value to 2 decimal places:
double y = stdlib_base_ceiln( 3.141592653589793, -2 );
// returns 3.15

// If n = 0, `ceiln` behaves like `ceil`:
double y = stdlib_base_ceiln( 3.141592653589793, 0 );
// returns 4.0

// Round a value to the nearest thousand:
double y = stdlib_base_ceiln( 12368.0, 3 );
// returns 13000.0

The function accepts the following arguments:

• x: [in] double input value.
• n: [in] int32_t integer power of 10.

double stdlib_base_ceiln( const double x, const int32_t n );

Examples

#include "stdlib/math/base/special/ceiln.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    const double x[] = { 3.14, -3.14, 0.0, 0.0/0.0 };

    double y;
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 4; i++ ) {
        y = stdlib_base_ceiln( x[ i ], -2 );
        printf( "ceiln(%lf, -2) = %lf\n", x[ i ], y );
    }
}
