The Math.ceil() static method always rounds up and returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a given number.
Math.ceil()
Try it
Syntax
js
Math.ceil(x)
Parameters
-
x -
A number.
Return value
The smallest integer greater than or equal to x. It's the same value as -Math.floor(-x).
Description
Because ceil() is a static method of Math, you always use it as Math.ceil(), rather than as a method of a Math object you created (Math is not a constructor).
Examples
Using Math.ceil()
js
Math.ceil(-Infinity); // -Infinity
Math.ceil(-7.004); // -7
Math.ceil(-4); // -4
Math.ceil(-0.95); // -0
Math.ceil(-0); // -0
Math.ceil(0); // 0
Math.ceil(0.95); // 1
Math.ceil(4); // 4
Math.ceil(7.004); // 8
