There is a ceil() function in C, but there is no utility named ceil. But, you can perform the equivalent functionality in a 1993 or later version of ksh or with awk.
Unfortunately, the code suggested by RavinderSingh13 won't work for integral values (even though it works perfectly for non-integral values).
The following should work correctly when given integral or floating point values for values into an integral value of type long integer:
which produces the output:
If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk, /usr/xpg6/bin/awk, or nawk.

Hi,
I am currently using tcsh
I am trying to round a decimal number to the ten-thousandths place
For instance:
1.23456 is rounded up towards 1.2346
I am not looking for truncation, but for rounding. Anyone know how to do this with awk or expr?
Thanks (2 Replies)

Hi Friends,
This is my last post for today.
My input file is
chr1 100 200
chr1 123 300
chr1 300 400
chr1 420 520
chr10 132344343 132348674
When I try using this command
awk '{v=($3+$2)/2; print $0"\t"v}' 1
This is my output
chr1 100 200 150
chr1 123 300 211.5 (2 Replies)
Hi,
I wanted to round all the values in a column to nearest integer. I have multiple files with only two columns and I want to round values in column 2. e.g

seq can be 0...128
int windex = seq / 8;
int bindex = seq % 8;

ceilf
ceil(3M) Mathematical Library Functions ceil(3M)NAME
ceil, ceilf, ceill - ceiling value function
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
#include <math.h>
double ceil(double x);
float ceilf(float x);
long double ceill(long double x);
DESCRIPTION
These functions compute the smallest integral value not less than x.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the ceil(), ceilf(), and ceill() functions return the smallest integral value not less than x, expressed as a
type double, float, or long double, respectively.
If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +-0 or +-Inf, x is returned.
USAGE
The integral value returned by these functions need not be expressible as an int or long int. The return value should be tested before
assigning it to an integer type to avoid the undefined results of an integer overflow.
