Is there a good reason that Decimal does not have Ceiling() method, only Math class has?

Is there a good reason that Decimal does not have Ceiling() method, only

I think it is for the same reason the other numeric datatypes don't have it.
I am assuming that the .NET coders wanted to write the code once and share
it between the numeric datatypes.

Hi, I'm writing a program that has got a bit of maths in it. I perform a division and then end up with something like 2.50, or 3.87, or 4.9975 (ie. y.12345). I need to get rid of anything in front of the decimal point so that I'm just left with the bit after the decimal point, ie. 0.50, 0.87, 0.9975, 0.12345 for the examples above.

Consider a rounding up function: public static decimal RoundUp(decimal val, decimal round) { return ((decimal)Math.Ceiling((double)(val/round)))*round; } Math.Ceiling (and Math.Floor for RoundDown) only take double,s so we need to cast twice. Is there a better way?

I have a database field that is the product of a multiply in a sql statement and it sometimes has 5 or more decimal places. I want to truncate beyond the 2nd decimal place(###.##). I figured a Ctype to a decimal value would do that but the four decimal places remain. I found a truncate function but it only truncates to whole numbers. how can I do the truncation? Thanks, G

Can someone tell me why the following statement gives me the result of 0 : Math.Ceiling( 1 / 12); Well actually the above is simplefied from : private const int LocationsPerPage = 12; (int)System.Math.Ceiling(dsLocations.Tables.Rows.Count / LocationsPerPage);

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a function that will return the lowest integer that is greater than or equal to a decimal number. eg. 3.1(decimal) returns 4(integer) 3.9(decimal) returns 4(integer) 4.0(decimal) returns 4(integer)

Hi, Why does Math.Sqrt() only accept a double as a parameter? I would think it would be just as happy with a decimal (or int, or float, or ....). I can easily convert back and forth, but I am interested in what is going on behind the scenes and if there is some aspect of decimals that keep them from being used in this calculation. Thanks!

Hi all, I need to round a decimal value with a particular rule. For example: decimal a = 1.49m -1m decimal a = 1.5m -1m decimal a = 1.51m -2m I've tried Math.Round but with the value 1.5 it returns me 2, which it is not correct for my business rule.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
