round in KSH
Is there an easy way to round a number up in Korn shell?

ie. 10.4 --> 11

Thanks.

Code:
printf "%.0f\n" 10.4

This produces 10, which is the correct result of rounding 10.4

Write yourself a quick C program to round-up using ceil...
Code:
# cat /var/tmp/abs.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

float li;
int x;

main( int argc, char **argv ) {
   li = atof(argv[1]);
   x = ceil( li );
   printf( "%d\n", x );
   return 0;
}
# cc -lm /var/tmp/abs.c -o /var/tmp/abs
# /var/tmp/abs 129.12
130
# /var/tmp/abs 3
3
# /var/tmp/abs 3.6
4

Cheers

Greatly appreciate the replies.

WOW...it's surprising that there isn't a built-in function to perform rounding UP.

ksh88 only supports integers. ksh93 has floating point and can do rounding internally.

$
$ typeset -F r
$ ((r=2.0/3.0))
$ echo $r
0.6666666667
$ typeset -i ir
$ ((ir=r+.5))
$ echo $ir
1
