What It Does
This function takes a numeric value and returns the mathematical ceiling of it: a whole number that is the maximum of the two nearest whole numbers. The input value is interpreted as a floating-point number.
a = ceiling(1.25); // a = 2.0
a = ceiling(1.875); // a = 2.0
a = ceiling(1.0); // a = 1.0
a = ceiling(-1.25); // a = -1.0
a = ceiling("1.25"); // a = 2.0
