These are standard C functions that are part of the math library.
They have been around forever.

double ceil(double x) : returns the smallest integral value not less than x

double floor(double x) : returns the largest integral value not greater than x

`floor' should not be confused with integer truncation:

	floor(15.7)  ->  15.0
	floor(-15.7) -> -16.0
