Ceil and floor equivalent in Python 3 without Math module?
I know this is old...but you can call those like this too:
>>> (3/2).__ceil__()
2
>>> (3/2).__floor__()
1
edit: this is for python 3.9 and above
Try:
def ceil(n):
res = int(n)
return res if res == n or n < 0 else res+1
def floor(n):
res = int(n)
return res if res == n or n >= 0 else res-1
Try
def ceil(n):
return int(-1 * n // 1 * -1)
def floor(n):
return int(n // 1)
I used int() to make the values integer. As ceiling and floor are a type of rounding, I thought integer is the appropriate type to return.
The integer division //, goes to the next whole number to the left on the number line. Therefore by using -1, I switch the direction around to get the ceiling, then use another * -1 to return to the original sign. The math is done from left to right.
>>> 3/2
1.5
>>> 3//2 # floor
1
>>> -(-3//2) # ceil
2
