You need to import math and use math.ceil to Ceiling division in Python. There is no operator which divides with ceil.
math.ceil(x)Ceiling division Python
A simple example code that rounds a number UP to the nearest integer, if necessary, and returns the result.
import math
# Round a number upward to its nearest integer
print(math.ceil(2.4))
print(math.ceil(7.3))
print(math.ceil(-1.3))
print(math.ceil(10.0))
Output:
What does it mean to round up?
When you round up a number you round the number to the closest integer that is greater than the number. Because of this, when you round 7.3 up, it returns 8.
