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

Why the output is 0 instead of having integer value 2?

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

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

printf("\n Result : %d" , floor(1.44) );
printf("\n Result : %d" , floor(1.66) );

return 0;

I think this function is apply the numeric rule following. Ant this function we are use of manage of memory for managing bit or byte.

@Raj.

You should use to print the float value by %f instead of %d.

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;
}

When we use roundup() and ceil() functions?

What is the difference between roundup() & ceil()?

Abdulrahman said:   9 years ago
There is not standard function for rounding in c called roundup().

What is difference between ceil() and floor() funtion?

Amulya said:   9 years ago
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?

Yes, correct @Akshatha.
