## Usage

```javascript
var ceil = require( '@stdlib/math/strided/special/ceil' );
```

#### ceil( N, x, strideX, y, strideY )

Rounds each element in a strided array `x` toward positive infinity and assigns the results to elements in a strided array `y`.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.1, 2.5, -3.5, 4.0, -5.9 ] );

// Perform operation in-place:
ceil( x.length, x, 1, x, 1 );
// x => <Float64Array>[ 2.0, 3.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0 ]
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **N**: number of indexed elements.
-   **x**: input array-like object.
-   **strideX**: index increment for `x`.
-   **y**: output array-like object.
-   **strideY**: index increment for `y`.

The `N` and `stride` parameters determine which elements in `x` and `y` are accessed at runtime. For example, to index every other value in `x` and the first `N` elements of `y` in reverse order,

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.1, 2.5, -3.5, 4.0, -5.9, 6.4 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

ceil( 3, x, 2, y, -1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ -5.0, -3.0, 2.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
```

Note that indexing is relative to the first index. To introduce an offset, use [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

// Initial arrays...
var x0 = new Float64Array( [ 1.1, 2.5, -3.5, 4.0, -5.9, 6.4 ] );
var y0 = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

// Create offset views...
var x1 = new Float64Array( x0.buffer, x0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*1 ); // start at 2nd element
var y1 = new Float64Array( y0.buffer, y0.BYTES_PER_ELEMENT*3 ); // start at 4th element

ceil( 3, x1, -2, y1, 1 );
// y0 => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 4.0, 3.0 ]
```

#### ceil.ndarray( N, x, strideX, offsetX, y, strideY, offsetY )

Rounds each element in a strided array `x` toward positive infinity and assigns the results to elements in a strided array `y` using alternative indexing semantics.

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.1, 2.5, -3.5, 4.0, -5.9 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

ceil.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, 1, 0 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 2.0, 3.0, -3.0, 4.0, -5.0 ]
```

The function accepts the following additional arguments:

-   **offsetX**: starting index for `x`.
-   **offsetY**: starting index for `y`.

While [`typed array`][mdn-typed-array] views mandate a view offset based on the underlying `buffer`, the `offsetX` and `offsetY` parameters support indexing semantics based on starting indices. For example, to index every other value in `x` starting from the second value and to index the last `N` elements in `y`,

```javascript
var Float64Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float64' );

var x = new Float64Array( [ 1.1, 2.5, -3.5, 4.0, -5.9, 6.4 ] );
var y = new Float64Array( [ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ] );

ceil.ndarray( 3, x, 2, 1, y, -1, y.length-1 );
// y => <Float64Array>[ 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 4.0, 3.0 ]
```

    gfillBy( x.length, x, 1, uniform( -100.0, 100.0 ) );
    console.log( x );

    y = filledarray( 0.0, x.length, 'generic' );
    console.log( y );

    ceil.ndarray( x.length, x, 1, 0, y, -1, y.length-1 );
    console.log( y );
    console.log( '' );
