method
Math.ceil
Math.ceil(x) -> int
Takes a fixed value and returns the smallest int not less than it — rounding toward positive infinity, so Math.ceil(2.1) is 3 and Math.ceil(4.0) stays 4. Use it when you need to cover a fractional amount with whole units: how many full tiles a span touches, or how many rows a variable-height list needs.
Parameters
xthe fixed value to round upExample
program RowsNeeded {
const ROW_HEIGHT: fixed = 12.0
var content_height: fixed = 30.0
handler Layout phase Update {
let rows = Math.ceil(content_height / ROW_HEIGHT) # 3
}
}
