Examples

Basic example

{
    "$ceil": 3.2
}

The above expression returns 4

With Nested Expressions

{
    "$ceil": { "$subtract": [4, 3] }
}

The above expression calculates the nested expression, return 1.3 in its place and then the outer $ceil expression returns 2 overall.

With Magical Autocomplete

Let's say we have declared a variable temp in our API flow, which has a value of -8.2 currently.

{
    "$ceil":"$.variables.temp"
}

The above expression would resolve to a result of -8
