Class CeilingFunction

java.lang.Object

org.jaxen.function.CeilingFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Function

public class CeilingFunction
extends Object
implements Function

4.4 number ceiling(number)

The ceiling function returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) number that is not less than the argument and that is an integer....If the argument is NaN, then NaN is returned. If the argument is positive infinity, then positive infinity is returned. If the argument is negative infinity, then negative infinity is returned. If the argument is positive zero, then positive zero is returned. If the argument is negative zero, then negative zero is returned. If the argument is less than zero, but greater than -1, then negative zero is returned.

Method Detail

call

public Object call(Context context,
                   List args)
            throws FunctionCallException

Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a number.

Specified by:

call in interface Function

Parameters:

context - the context at the point in the expression when the function is called

args - a list with exactly one item which will be converted to a Double as if by the XPath number() function

Returns:

a Double containing the smallest integer greater than or equal args.get(0)

Throws:

FunctionCallException - if args has more or less than one item

evaluate

public static Double evaluate(Object obj,
                              Navigator nav)

Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the argument. If necessary, the argument is first converted to a Double as if by the XPath number() function.

Parameters:

obj - the object whose ceiling is returned

nav - ignored

Returns:

a Double containing the smallest integer greater than or equal to obj
