Ceiling and Floor

In mathematics, there are two elementary special functions called ceiling() and floor() which allow us to round up or down, respectively, to the nearest whole number. These functions exist natively in PHP, but not in ASP. They are handy in situations where you want to force a number like 15.8 to round down to 15, but the round() function rounds it up to 16 according to the standard rules for rounding.

ASP

1. function floor(x)
2.     dim temp
4.     temp = round(x)
6.     if temp > x then
7.         temp = temp - 1
8.     end if
10.     floor = temp
11. end function
13. function ceil(x)
14.     dim temp
16.     temp = round(x)
18.     if temp < x then
19.         temp = temp + 1
20.     end if
22.     ceil = temp
23. end function
