Which method returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a number?
TIL: For certain reasons 🥁 I did a coding challenge on Codility for once and now I want to share my approaches with you. Show

Table of contentsTaskWrite a function: 7 that, given an array 8 ofN\mathbb{N}N integers, returns the smallest positive integer (greater than 0) that does not occur in A.For example, given 9, the function should return 0.Given 1, the function should return 4.Given 2, the function should return 1.Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions: N\mathbb{N}N is an integer within the range 3; each element of array A is an integer within the range 0.Approach 1: For-LoopFor the first solution we are going to use the for loop. Step 1: First, we filter the array (which returns a new array) to only get the positive integers, because when only negative integers are in the array, the answer should always return 1.Step 2: Then we sort the new array in an ascending order. Step 3: Now, let's create a variable called 2, which stores 1 as a value, because of the reason mentioned before (the smallest possible return is 1).Step 4: Create the for loop. The for-loop checks if the number in the array is bigger then 2, and when it is, then we already have the solution 1.Step 5: Otherwise, let's update 2 by the number with which it was compared to increased by 1.Step 6: When the for-loop is finished, return 2.

Step 1: We create a variable called 2 like we did in .Step 2: We use 10 like we did in .Step 3: Then let's use 11 like we did in .Step 4: Now we are going to use 12. 12 also creates a new array calling a provided function on every element in the array.Step 5: Within 12 we again check if 2is smaller then the current number in the array and return it. (Shortcut: If 16 is in the same line the 17, there is no need for 18 and it will return 2.)Step 6: Otherwise 2 will be updated by the number with which it was compared to increased by 1.Step 7: When the functionality 2 is returnd.

What method is used to find the smallest integer value that is greater than or equal to the argument or mathematical integer?ceil () is used to find the smallest integer value that is greater than or equal to the argument or mathematical integer.
What method returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a decimal number?Ceiling(Decimal)
Returns the smallest integral value that is greater than or equal to the specified decimal number.
Which of the following number method returns the smallest integer that is greater than or equal to the arguments in Java?ceil() method. This method returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a given number.
Which method returns the next integer greater than or equal to a given number?ceil() The Math. ceil() function always rounds up and returns the smaller integer greater than or equal to a given number.
