How would you round off a value from 1.66 to 2.0?
ceil(1.66)
floor(1.66)
roundup(1.66)
roundto(1.66)
Answer: Option
Explanation:
/* Example for ceil() and floor() functions: */

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

int main()
{
    printf("\n Result : %f" , ceil(1.44) );
    printf("\n Result : %f" , ceil(1.66) );
 
    printf("\n Result : %f" , floor(1.44) );    
    printf("\n Result : %f" , floor(1.66) );

    return 0;
}
// Output:
// Result : 2.000000
// Result : 2.000000
// Result : 1.000000
// Result : 1.000000

Usage:

#include <math.h>
y = floor( x );

Where:

double x, y;


Description:

"floor" returns the largest integer (represented as a double precision number) that is less than or equal to "x".

What is the difference between roundup() and ceil()?
As both are doing the same thing. ex:ceil(10.5) rounds to a next integer value.i.e.11.even roundup() do the same thing.then what is the difference between these two?

@sasi.

Here you are saying that for >. 5 then only the valu will round to next higest integer but if we give as ceil (2. 1) also we get ans as 3 then how?

And for roundup value is it >. 5 or may anything?

The Explanation which you people were given was very good. But some people are saying one thing i.e., ceil (1.2) gives 1, and some are saying 2, may I please know the correct answer?

I am confused!

If ceil() round of to next value if it is greater than or equal to 5 then why is 1.44 is round off to 2.000000 and not 1.000000 it is less than 5, right?

Friends ceil(1.00000001)==>2.0 and floor(1.99999999)==>1.0

And there are no functions like roundup and roundto.

I think it help's to you.

To round off 1.66 to 2.0.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main()
{
printf("Result: %4.1f",ceil(1.66));
return 0;
}

What is the difference b/w ceil & floor, and also explain the work of roundup and roundto ?

What is the use of ceil() and floor() function?

ceil()-This function works as follows: if the value is greater than or equal to (_.5) then, it round off a value into the next integer value
