# Function ceil
Round a value towards plus infinity
If `x` is complex, both real and imaginary part are rounded towards plus infinity.
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
## Syntax
```js
math.ceil(x)
```
### Parameters
Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Number to be rounded
### Returns
Type | Description
---- | -----------
number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix | Rounded value
## Examples
```js
math.ceil(3.2); // returns number 4
math.ceil(3.8); // returns number 4
math.ceil(-4.2); // returns number -4
math.ceil(-4.7); // returns number -4
var c = math.complex(3.2, -2.7);
math.ceil(c); // returns Complex 4 - 2i
math.ceil([3.2, 3.8, -4.7]); // returns Array [4, 4, -4]
