1-3) Computes the least integer value not less than num. The library provides overloads of std::ceil for all cv-unqualified floating-point types as the type of the parameter.(since C++23)
S) The SIMD overload performs an element-wise std::ceil on v_num.
(See math-floating-point and deduced-simd-t for their definitions.)
(since C++26)
A) Additional overloads are provided for all integer types, which are treated as double.
(since C++11)

[edit]Parameters

num - floating point or integer value

[edit]Return value

If no errors occur, the smallest integer value not less than num, that is ⌈num⌉, is returned.

num

[edit]Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

  • The current rounding mode has no effect.
  • If num is ±∞, it is returned unmodified.
  • If num is ±0, it is returned, unmodified.
  • If num is NaN, NaN is returned.

[edit]Notes

FE_INEXACT may be (but is not required to be) raised when rounding a non-integer finite value.

The largest representable floating-point values are exact integers in all standard floating-point formats, so this function never overflows on its own; however the result may overflow any integer type (including std::intmax_t), when stored in an integer variable. It is for this reason that the return type is floating-point not integral.

This function (for double argument) behaves as if (except for the freedom to not raise FE_INEXACT) implemented by the following code:

#include <cfenv>#include <cmath>#pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON   double ceil(double x){int save_round =std::fegetround();std::fesetround(FE_UPWARD);double result =std::rint(x);// or std::nearbyintstd::fesetround(save_round);return result;}

The additional overloads are not required to be provided exactly as (A). They only need to be sufficient to ensure that for their argument num of integer type, std::ceil(num) has the same effect as std::ceil(static_cast<double>(num)).

[edit]Example

#include <cmath>#include <iostream>   int main(){std::cout<<std::fixed<<"ceil(+2.4) = "<< std::ceil(+2.4)<<'\n'<<"ceil(-2.4) = "<< std::ceil(-2.4)<<'\n'<<"ceil(-0.0) = "<< std::ceil(-0.0)<<'\n'<<"ceil(-Inf) = "<< std::ceil(-INFINITY)<<'\n';}

Output:

ceil(+2.4) = 3.000000 ceil(-2.4) = -2.000000 ceil(-0.0) = -0.000000 ceil(-Inf) = -inf
