Hi guys,

im trying to get the ceil function working in dev-C++ using the C language (Its compatable with both)

and usually when i type in a recognised word for example int or double it turns bold

when i type in the ceil function it does not turn bold even thou i am using the <math.h> header file


why is it that i can't seem to get it to work what am i doing wrong?
is there somethign that im not typing before the function or is it that its not a proper function in dev-C++


Thank you for any assistance that you can provide,
Troppo

i had the same problem but i realised that my problem was that i set my variable x of ceil(x) as an int instead of a double

so when i input a double number,
it reads the first digit only
leaving me with incorrect output
hope tt helps....

#include <math.h>

double result = ceil( 0.5 );
// result now contains 1.0.

Your "problem" isn't actually a problem. Both int, and double are keywords. That is why they appear in a different color. However, the name of a function is not a keyword, so it should appear normal. Have you compiled your code, to see if it actually works or not? If the program won't work, rather then you thinking it won't, then post your code and I'll try to look at it.

This is a link to a list of keywords for C. I didn't check the list to make sure it is completely right, but I'll take their word for it.
