What should be considered when using ceiling function i…

In C language, rounding up can be implemented using the ceil() function. However, when using the ceil() function, there are a few points to keep in mind.

1. Include the header file: it is necessary to include the math.h header file in the code, as the ceil() function is declared and defined in math.h.
2. The parameter type for the ceil() function should be a floating point number. If an integer is passed as a parameter, it needs to be converted to a floating point number.
3. The return type of the `ceil()` function is a double data type, so if you need to assign the result to an integer variable, you will need to perform a type conversion.
4. For negative numbers, the ceil() function rounds up by taking the integer towards zero, meaning it returns the smallest integer that is not less than the input value.

Here is an example code demonstrating how to use the ceil() function for rounding up numbers:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main() {
    double num = 12.34;
    double result = ceil(num);
    printf("向上取整的结果为：%lf\n", result);
    
    int rounded = (int)ceil(num); // 将结果转换为整数
    printf("转换为整数的结果为：%d\n", rounded);
    
    return 0;
}

The output result is:

向上取整的结果为：13.000000
转换为整数的结果为：13
