ceilb

Round a numeric value to the nearest multiple of b^n toward positive infinity.

Usage

var ceilb = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ceilb' );

ceilb( x, n, b )

Rounds a numeric value to the nearest multiple of b^n toward positive infinity.

// Round a value to 4 decimal places:
var v = ceilb( 3.141592653589793, -4, 10 );
// returns 3.1416

// If n = 0 or b = 1, `ceilb` behaves like `ceil`:
v = ceilb( 3.141592653589793, 0, 2 );
// returns 4.0

// Round a value to the nearest multiple of two toward positive infinity:
v = ceilb( 5.0, 1, 2 );
// returns 6.0

Notes

• Due to rounding error in floating-point numbers, rounding may not be exact. For example,

  var x = 0.2 + 0.1;
  // returns 0.30000000000000004
  
  // Should round to 0.3...
  var v = ceilb( x, -16, 10 );
  // returns 0.3000000000000001
  

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var round = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/round' );
var pow = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/pow' );
var ceilb = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/ceilb' );

var x;
var n;
var b;
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*100.0) - 50.0;
    n = round( (randu()*10.0) - 5.0 );
    b = round( randu()*10.0 );
    v = ceilb( x, n, b );
    console.log( 'x: %d. %d^%d: %d. Rounded: %d.', x, b, n, pow( b, n ), v );
