How to round up in c#

I want to round up always in c#, so for example, from 6.88 to 7, from 1.02 to 2, etc.

How can I do that?

Use Math.Ceiling()

double result = Math.Ceiling(1.02); 

Use Math.Ceiling: Math.Ceiling(value)

If negative values are present, Math.Round has additional options (in .Net Core 3 or later).

I did a benchmark(.Net 5/release) though and Math.Ceiling() is faster and more efficient.

Math.Round( 6.88, MidpointRounding.ToPositiveInfinity) ==> 7 (~23 clock cycles) Math.Round(-6.88, MidpointRounding.ToPositiveInfinity) ==> -6 (~23 clock cycles) Math.Round( 6.88, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) ==> 7 (~23 clock cycles) Math.Round(-6.88, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) ==> -7 (~23 clock cycles) Math.Ceiling( 6.88) ==> 7 (~1 clock cycles) Math.Ceiling(-6.88) ==> -6 (~1 clock cycles)
