BcMath\Number::ceil — Rounds up an arbitrary precision number

### Description

public BcMath\Number::ceil(): BcMath\Number

Returns the next highest integer value by rounding up $this if necessary.

### Parameters

This function has no parameters.

### Return Values

Returns the result as a new BcMath\Number object. The BcMath\Number::scale of the result is always `0`.

### Examples

Example #1 BcMath\Number::ceil() example

`<?php
$num1 = new BcMath\Number('4.3')->ceil();
$num2 = new BcMath\Number('9.999')->ceil();
$num3 = new BcMath\Number('-3.14')->ceil();
var_dump($num1, $num2, $num3);
?>`

The above example will output:

    object(BcMath\Number)#2 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(1) "5"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(0)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#3 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(2) "10"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(0)
    }
    object(BcMath\Number)#4 (2) {
      ["value"]=>
      string(2) "-3"
      ["scale"]=>
      int(0)
    }
