ceil

include math.e 
namespace math 
public function ceil(object a) 

computes the next integer equal or greater than the argument.

Parameters:

1. value : an object, each atom of which processed, no matter how deeply nested.

Returns:

An object, the same shape as value. Each atom in value is returned as an integer that is the smallest integer equal to or greater than the corresponding atom in value.

Comments:

This function may be applied to an atom or to all elements of a sequence.

ceil(X) is 1 more than floor(X) for non-integers. For integers, X = floor(X) = ceil(X).

Example 1:

sequence nums 
nums = {8, -5, 3.14, 4.89, -7.62, -4.3} 
nums = ceil(nums) -- {8, -5, 4, 5, -7, -4}
