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

ceil() - roundup a float no to its upper integer value
ex : ceil(1.9) = 2.0000
ceil(1.1) = 2.0000

floor() - roundup a float no to its lower integer value

ex : floor(1.9) = 1.0000
floor(1.1) = 1.0000

Dear friends, there is no functions like roundup() and roundto().

Suresh said:   1 decade ago
There is a function as round() which gives the rusult as 4 if round(x), x ranges from 3.5 to 3.99 and it is 3 if x ranges from 3.01 to 3.49

Thanks for eplanation.

What is static and global variable?

If I have this number, 15.4632,
If Round Up to 2 decimal, I get 15.47.
If Round to Nearest 2 decimal, I get 15.46.

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?

#include<stdio.h>

#include<math.h>
void main()
{
printf("%f\n",ceil(1.69));
printf("%f",floor(1.69));
}
