[erlang-questions] math ceil floor

[Technion]

Following from other languages, C's ceil returns floats, but Ruby's ceil returns an Integer, PHP returns a float.


I'm seeing here there isn't a particularly accepted standard.

Subject: [erlang-questions] math ceil floor

Hi
I made pull request https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1084 which implements ceil and floor in the math module.

The question is, should they return integer or floats?

The implementation in the PR currently returns integers and also implements ceilf and floorf which returns floats.

Opinions?
