• Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

• Purpose: To round numeric values up to the nearest integer.

• General Class: Mathematical Computation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A numeric vector or value to be rounded up.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  values <- c(3.14, 2.718, 5.55)
  
  # Round up to the nearest integer
  ceiling_values <- ceiling(values)
  
  print(ceiling_values)

• In this example, ceiling is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to round numeric values up to the nearest integer. The x argument is the required numeric vector or value to be rounded up. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector or value that has been rounded up to the nearest integer.
