Examples
Code Editor (JavaScript)
// Positive numbers.
print('Ceiling for 2.1', ee.Number(2.1).ceil()); // 3
print('Ceiling for 2.5', ee.Number(2.5).ceil()); // 3
print('Ceiling for 2.9', ee.Number(2.9).ceil()); // 3
// Negative numbers.
print('Ceiling for 2.1', ee.Number(-2.1).ceil()); // -2
print('Ceiling for 2.5', ee.Number(-2.5).ceil()); // -2
print('Ceiling for 2.9', ee.Number(-2.9).ceil()); // -2
Python setup
See the
Python Environment page for information on the Python API and using
geemap for interactive development.
import ee
import geemap.core as geemap
Colab (Python)
# Positive numbers.
print('Ceiling for 2.1:', ee.Number(2.1).ceil().getInfo()) # 3
print('Ceiling for 2.5:', ee.Number(2.5).ceil().getInfo()) # 3
print('Ceiling for 2.9:', ee.Number(2.9).ceil().getInfo()) # 3
# Negative numbers.
print('Ceiling for 2.1:', ee.Number(-2.1).ceil().getInfo()) # -2
print('Ceiling for 2.5:', ee.Number(-2.5).ceil().getInfo()) # -2
print('Ceiling for 2.9:', ee.Number(-2.9).ceil().getInfo()) # -2
