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

</p>
<p>I'm seeing here there isn't a particularly accepted standard.<br>

<div>Hi </div>
I made pull request <a href="https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1084">https://github.com/erlang/otp/pull/1084</a> <span style="line-height:1.5">which implements ceil and floor in the math module.</span>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The question is, should they return integer or floats?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The implementation in the PR currently returns integers and also implements ceilf and floorf which returns floats.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Opinions?</div>
