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.

Examples

The following function returns the ceil value of the variable x:

If you pass 45.95 to getCeil, it returns 46; if you pass -45.95, it returns -45.
