# ceiln > Round a complex number to the nearest multiple of `10^n` toward positive infinity.
## Usage ```javascript var cceiln = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cceiln' ); ``` #### cceiln( \[out,] re, im, n ) Rounds a `complex` number comprised of a **real** component `re` and an **imaginary** component `im` to the nearest multiple of `10^n` toward positive infinity. ```javascript // Round components to 2 decimal places: var v = cceiln( -3.141592653589793, 3.141592653589793, -2 ); // returns [ -3.14, 3.15 ] // If n = 0, `cceiln` behaves like `cceil`: v = cceiln( -3.141592653589793, 3.141592653589793, 0 ); // returns [ -3.0, 4.0 ] // Round components to the nearest thousand: v = cceiln( -12368.0, 12368.0, 3 ); // returns [ -12000.0, 13000.0 ] v = cceiln( NaN, NaN, 0 ); // returns [ NaN, NaN ] ``` By default, the function returns real and imaginary components as a two-element `array`. To avoid unnecessary memory allocation, the function supports providing an output (destination) object. ```javascript var Float32Array = require( '@stdlib/array/float32' ); var out = new Float32Array( 2 ); var v = cceiln( out, -4.2, 5.5, 0 ); // returns [ -4.0, 6.0 ] var bool = ( v === out ); // returns true ```
## Notes - When operating on [floating-point numbers][ieee754] in bases other than `2`, rounding to specified digits can be **inexact**. For example, ```javascript var x = 0.2 + 0.1; // returns 0.30000000000000004 // Should round components to 0.3: var v = cceiln( x, x, -16 ); // returns [ 0.3000000000000001, 0.3000000000000001 ] ```
## Examples ```javascript var Complex128 = require( '@stdlib/complex/float64' ); var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' ); var ceil = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ceil' ); var real = require( '@stdlib/complex/real' ); var imag = require( '@stdlib/complex/imag' ); var cceiln = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cceiln' ); var re; var im; var z; var o; var w; var n; var i; for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) { re = ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0; im = ( randu()*100.0 ) - 50.0; z = new Complex128( re, im ); n = ceil( randu()*5.0 ); o = cceiln( real(z), imag(z), -n ); w = new Complex128( o[ 0 ], o[ 1 ] ); console.log( 'ceiln(%s,%s) = %s', z.toString(), n.toString(), w.toString() ); } ```
