Java - Math.ceil() method example

The Math.ceil() function returns an integer value that is greater than or equal to the argument - the result of round-up operation. 

public class MathExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  5     ) ); //  5.0

        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  2.49  ) ); //  3.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  2.50  ) ); //  3.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  2.51  ) ); //  3.0

        System.out.println( Math.ceil( -2.49  ) ); // -2.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil( -2.50  ) ); // -2.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil( -2.51  ) ); // -2.0

        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  0.999 ) ); //  1.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil(  1.001 ) ); //  2.0
        System.out.println( Math.ceil( -1.001 ) ); // -1.0
    }
}

2. Rounding with precision up-to n places example

public class CustomMath {

    static double ceilPrecised(double number, int precision) {
        double power = Math.pow(10, precision);
        return Math.ceil(number * power) / power;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(     5  ,  0 ) ); // 5.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(     5. ,  0 ) ); // 5.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(      .5,  0 ) ); // 1.0

        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  1.1234,  0 ) ); // 2.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  1.1234,  1 ) ); // 1.2
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  1.1235,  2 ) ); // 1.13
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  1.1235,  3 ) ); // 1.124

        System.out.println( ceilPrecised( -1.1234,  0 ) ); // -1.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised( -1.1234,  1 ) ); // -1.1
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised( -1.1234,  2 ) ); // -1.12
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised( -1.1234,  3 ) ); // -1.123

        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(    1234, -1 ) ); // 1240.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(    1234, -2 ) ); // 1300.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(    1234, -3 ) ); // 2000.0

        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  5_000.000_001,  0 ) ); // 5001.0
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  5_000.000_001,  6 ) ); // 5000.000001
        System.out.println( ceilPrecised(  5_000.000_001, -3 ) ); // 6000.0
    }
}
